Fibonacci Series Program in PHP

The Fibonacci series are the sequence of number in which the next number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Fibonacci series was known hundreds of years before. The "Fibonacci" name came from the nickname "Bonacci".

We can easily remember Fibonacci Sequence using the Fibonacci Day, which is November 23rd. As 23rd November has the digits "1, 1, 2, 3" which is part of the sequence.

In the above image, the first two numbers are 0 and 1. So, according to the Fibonacci rule the third number is 1 (sum of 0 and 1). The fourth number is 2 and so on.

0 + 1 = 1 // 0, 1, 1

1 + 1 = 2 // 0, 1, 1, 2

1 + 2 = 3 // 0, 1, 1, 2, 3

2 + 3 = 5 // 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5

0 ,1 , 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34....

In this tutorial, you will learn how to print Fibonacci series using PHP. In this below code, $f1 contains first number, i.e., 0 and $f2 contains second number, i.e., 1 and $n contains total Fibonacci series number count.

<?php
    $f1 = 0;
    $f2 = 1;
    $n = 30;
    echo $f1;
    echo '<br/>';
    echo $f2;
    for($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {
        $f3 = $f1 + $f2;
        $f1 = $f2;
        $f2 = $f3;
        echo $f3 ."<br />"; 
    }
?>

Output of the above code
