PHP Table of Numbers
In this tutorial, we will learn how to generate a table of numbers using PHP.
Syntax
<?php
// loop through numbers
for ($i = 1; $i <= $num_rows; $i++) {
// print table row with numbers
echo "<tr><td>" . $i . "</td></tr>";
}
?>
Example
Let's take an example of generating a table of numbers from 1 to 10.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Table of Numbers</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<?php
// set number of rows in table
$num_rows = 10;
// loop through numbers
for ($i = 1; $i <= $num_rows; $i++) {
// print table row with numbers
echo "<tr><td>" . $i . "</td></tr>";
}
?>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Output
The above code will generate a table of numbers from 1 to 10 as shown below:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
Explanation
In the above example, we first set the number of rows in the table to 10. We then use a for
loop to loop through the numbers from 1 to 10.
For each number, we print a table row using the HTML <tr>
tag and a table data cell using the HTML <td>
tag. We then concatenate the number with the string using the .
operator and close the table row and data cell.
Finally, we close the table using the HTML </table>
tag.
Use
A table of numbers can be used in various scenarios, such as displaying student IDs, book reference numbers, or data records.
Important Points
- We can generate a table of numbers using PHP by using a
for
loop and the HTML<tr>
and<td>
tags. - The number of rows in the table can be changed by setting the value of the
$num_rows
variable. - A table of numbers can be used to display various types of data in a structured format.
Summary
In this tutorial, we learned how to generate a table of numbers using PHP. We used a for
loop to loop through the numbers and printed a table row and data cell for each number. A table of numbers can be used in different scenarios for displaying structured data.
