PHP for loop Exercises: Create a table using for loop

PHP for loop: Exercise-10 with Solution

Write a PHP script that creates the following table (use for loops).

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Start the HTML table with border attribute and collapsed borders style
echo "<table border =\"1\" style='border-collapse: collapse'>";

// Loop through rows
for ($row=1; $row <= 10; $row++) { 
    echo "<tr> \n"; // Start a new table row
    
    // Loop through columns
    for ($col=1; $col <= 10; $col++) { 
        // Calculate the product of column and row
        $p = $col * $row;
        
        // Print the product in a table cell
        echo "<td>$p</td> \n";
    }
    
    echo "</tr>"; // End the table row
}

// Close the HTML table
echo "</table>";

?>

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

• PHP code begins with PHP tag <?php.
• It starts by echoing out the start of an HTML table (<table>) with a border attribute set to "1" and a collapsed border style.
• It then enters a nested loop structure:
• The outer loop (for ($row=1; $row <= 10; $row++)) controls the rows of the table, iterating from 1 to 10.
• Inside the outer loop, an inner loop (for ($col=1; $col <= 10; $col++)) controls the columns of each row, iterating from 1 to 10.
• Within the inner loop, the product of the current row and column indices ($col * $row) is calculated and stored in the variable '$p'.
• The product value '$p' is then echoed out within a table cell (<td>) in the HTML table.
• After completing each row, the code echoes out </tr> to close the table row (<tr>).
• Once all rows and columns are populated with the products, the PHP code closes the HTML table with </table>.
• Finally, the PHP code ends with a closing PHP tag ?>.

Previous: Write a PHP script using nested for loop that creates a chess board as shown below.
Next: Write a PHP program which iterates the integers from 1 to 100. For multiples of three print "Fizz" instead of the number and for the multiples of five print "Buzz". For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print "FizzBuzz".
