PHP How do you create an increasing number array?

as the title says i am trying to create an increasing numbers array for example:

I have a number 30 and i want to create an array out of it like 

$numbers = array(6,12,18,24,30);
// then extract data from mysql
foreach( $numbers as $LIMITNUMBER ){
   $query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=id ORDER BY ASC LIMIT 0,".$LIMITNUMBER;
}

The 30 number above could be any number 100 or 200 but it always divides by 6 so the array first value has to be 6 and then +6 addition to the previous value.

The easiest way to do this would be to use a function implementing PHP 'range'.

Here's an example based on your question:

function incrementToMax($max) {
    foreach (range(6, $max, 6) as $currentMax) {
       $query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=id ORDER BY ASC LIMIT 0,".$currentMax;
    }
}

Example usage:

incrementToMax(60);
