<?php

$total = 0;

for ($number = 1; $number <= $limit; $number++) {
    $total += $number;
}

echo "limit=" . $limit . "\n";
echo "total=" . $total . "\n";

<?php
$limit = ;
$total = 0;

for ($number = 1; $number <= $limit; $number++) {
    $total += $number;
}

echo "limit=" . $limit . "\n";
echo "total=" . $total . "\n";

<?php
