How can I make a PHP counter

Question

I did this in Javascript but when I tried it in PHP its not working.

if (empty($counter)){
   $counter = 1;
}else{
   "plus one to $counter" ($counter++?)
}

I tried this inside the while loop to make it work:

if ($counter == 10){
   echo("Counter is 10!");
}

But it didn't work. Can someone please help me with this?

Change your code like this:

$counter = 0;
while(...)
{
    (...)
    $counter++;
}

echo $counter;

I hope this helps you.
