I want to make a php program to print multiplication tables for integers from 1 to10;Result should be displayed using a 10x10 HTML table.
I tried the following code which is not working.
<html><head><title>Multiplication Table</title></head>

<body>
<?php

for($a=1; $a<=10; $a++){
for($b=1; $b<=10; $b++){
$r=$a * $b;
}

}

?>

<table border="1">

<tr>
<th>A * B</th>
<th>Result</th>
</tr>
<?php
$i=1;
while ($i<=100){ ?>
<tr><td>echo "$a*$b"</td><td> echo "$r"</td> </tr> <br>

<?php
$i++;
}
?>
</table>

</body>

</html>
Please help.
Thnx in advance.

This should work for you.

<?php

echo '<table>';
for($a=1; $a<=10; $a++)
{
echo '<tr>';
for($b=1; $b<=10; $b++)
{
echo '<td>'.$a*$b.'</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '<table>';

?>

What output do you want then?

I get the following:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30
4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50
6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60
7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 70
8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80
9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90
10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

Is that not what you want?

Ya of course I want the above output@Mark.
But when I run the program it gives error in line 15!! :eek:
Can you please post the full program for me which works for you?
Or else please check the code above which I have posted after considering your corrections but it is not working

No I tried your code as follows but it didn't work!! :eek:
<html><head><title>Multiplication Table</title></head>

<body>

<?php

echo '<table>';
for($a=1; $a<=10; $a++)
{
echo '<tr>';
for($b=1; $b<=10; $b++)
{
echo '<td>'.$a*$b.'</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '<table>';

?>

</body>

</html>

I can see the table closing tag is not a closing tag should be change to </table>
Other than that looks fine what did the error say?

I just tested and it worked perfectly for me :/

What I originally posted was exactly what worked for me.

I have also tried your code and that still works see the attached image.

What error does it give you?

I am getting the following error-
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in D:\xampp\htdocs\test\mul10.php on line 15

From this screenshot, there is no error. It also parses in the browser from what we can see. The difference is that the code displayed in the browser appears to be index.php while the error is on mul10.php. Which is in use?
Copy and paste the code from the editor into the forums. Its easier to find error in text than it is in an image.

That was my screenshot showing that the code I posted does work for me, not ippo's who says it doesn't work for him.

Ok now it works. I created a new program
Thanks
But now what I want to do is display 1,2,3,...10 beside and above each row and column head.
I tried this but it is not showing the desired output-
<html><head><title>Multiplication Table</title></head>

<body>

<?php
echo '<table>'; echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>  </td>';
for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
{

echo '<td>  '.$i.'</td>';

}echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';

echo '<table>';
for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>  '.$i.'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
echo '<table border="1" cellspacing=0>';

for($a=1; $a<=10; $a++)
{
echo "<tr>";
for($b=1; $b<=10; $b++)
{
echo '<td>'.$a*$b.'</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
}

echo '</table>';

?>

</body>

</html>
How to do that?
Can you help further in this regard?
Thanks in advance

This still doesn't look quite right. This will provide an actual variable name alongside the rows since there is no parse. Removing it though will loose track of the 'blank' position in the table (where no numbers are multiplied against), but could be handled with 0.

I'd suggest just making use of the 0th position in the loop for just that. Some simple calculation on what position the row/col are and you can make a table. I'll add a quick inline style here so its easier to see:

$iRows = 10;
$iCols = 10;

print '<table>';
for ($i = 0; $i <= $iRows; ++$i)
{
print '<tr>';
for ($j = 0; $j <= $iCols; ++$j)
{
// Get the display as a string
$sOutput = ($i == 0 && $j == 0) ? '' : ($i == 0 ? $j : ($j == 0 ? $i : $i * $j));

// Lets write a quick inline style for this so its easier to show the multipliers
$sStyle = '';
$sStyle .= $i == 0 ? ' border-bottom: 1px solid black;' : '';
$sStyle .= $j == 0 ? ' border-right: 1px solid black;' : '';

// Print it.
printf('<td style="%s">%s</td>' . PHP_EOL, $sStyle, $sOutput);
}
print '</tr>';
}
print '</table>';

That's how I perceive how the table should look.
