PHP loop rating bar error - php

Question

I have a 5 point rating system I am trying to change up how it displays the rating.
So before it would be 5 dots all white if not rated, then color in the ratings blue.. I would display these dots via fontawesome glyphs. So it would output 5 of them.
But now i'm trying to change it where the 5 point rating would display a progress bar and the 5 points be used as percentages for the length of progress.
Sorry if i am vague, I can explain more if needed. It currently displays all the bars and rating values, but just once. So it's not functioning the way I want it to.
<?php if(count($languages) > 0) { ?>
<div class="col-md-6">
<ul class="no-bullets">
<?php foreach($languages as $index => $language) { ?>
<li>
<span class="skillset-title"><?= $language->title; ?> (<?= $language->endorsement; ?>)</span>
<span class="skillset-rating">
<?php
$levelpercentage = 0;
for($stars == 1; $stars <= 5; $stars++) {
if ($stars == 5):
echo $levelpercentage = 100;
elseif ($stars == 4):
echo $levelpercentage = 80;
elseif ($stars == 3):
echo $levelpercentage = 60;
elseif ($stars == 2):
echo $levelpercentage = 40;
elseif ($stars == 1):
echo $levelpercentage = 20;
endif;
?>
<div class="progress-bar blue stripes">
<span style="width: <?= ($language->level >= $stars) ? $levelpercentage : '0'; ?>%;"></span>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</span>
</li>
<?php if(ceil(count($languages) / 2) == $index + 1) { ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<ul class="no-bullets">
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="alert alert-warning">
No languages were found!
</div>
<?php } ?>

Answer 1

It currently displays all the bars and rating values
That's because you assign and echo your bars and rating values in a for loop.
Your $stars variable is assigned every value from 1 to 5, displaying the bar at each step. Simply remove your for loop and it should work fine (provided you use an already defined $stars variable)
Bonus : Because I'm in a good mood, I have to tell you there's a simpler way to build your $levelpercentage variable than using an if...else for each value from 1 to 5, just use :
$levelpercentage = $stars * 20;

Answer 2

Thank you! That really helped me out. Was trying to simplify what I was trying to do. This is what I did and it seems to be working.
<?php if(count($languages) > 0) { ?>
<div class="col-md-6">
<ul class="no-bullets">
<?php foreach($languages as $index => $language) { $stars = 0; $stars <= 5; $stars++; ?>
<li>
<span class="skillset-title"><?= $language->title; ?> (<?= $language->endorsement; ?>)</span>
<span class="skillset-rating">
<div class="progress-bar blue stripes">
<span style="width: <?= ($language->level >= $stars) ? $language->level * 20 : 0; ?>%;"></span>
</div>
</span>
</li>
<?php if(ceil(count($languages) / 2) == $index + 1) { ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<ul class="no-bullets">
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="alert alert-warning">
No languages were found!
</div>
<?php } ?>
