How to Skip Multiples of 5 in php for loop?

My teacher asked me to Create a PHP script that prints numbers from 1 to 50 using a for loop. However, when the
loop encounters a multiple of 5, it should skip that number using the continue statement and
continue to the next iteration.

I created

But not Working it. Please help me.

for ($i =1; $i<=50; $i++) {  
     
     if ($i * 5) {
        continue;
     }
        echo $i . "n";  
       
}

    for ($i = 1; $i <= 50; $i++) {
    if ($i % 5 == 0) {
        continue;
    }
    echo $i . "n";
}

    Check out the modulo operator. "%". That should make it easy to do what you need.

    Use the modulo operator (%) to get the remainder of dividing the loop counter value by the desired break point value.

    When the remainder is 0, you know that it has reached the break point value (because, for example the remainder from 5 / 5 is 0, and so is the remainder from 10 / 5, etc etc).

    Example:

    for ($i = 1; $i <= 50; $i++) {
    if ($i % 5 == 0) {
        continue;
    }
    echo $i . "n";
}
