php multiplication tables

[mayman212]

<?php      

echo "<tableborder=1>";
echo "<table> \n";                    
echo "    <tr>\n"; 

$a= 1;
$b= 1;

while ($a <= 9 && $b <= 10){
$calc = $a * $b;


echo "        <td>$calc</td>\n";

        $a++;

if ($a == 9){

echo "   </tr>\n";

    if ($b < 10)

echo "   </tr>\n";

 $a = 1;

 $b++;
}
}


echo "</table>";
?>

 

I am trying to do the multiplication tables but so far i can only manage to get this.

it only shows the answers but i want it to show the tables along with the calculation, so for example:

1*2=2

2*2=4 etc.

I want it to show on a repeating loop so it runs up to the 9 times tables.

Any help on this?

You could embed two For loops to acheive this

<table>
<?php
for ($a=1; $a<=9; $a++){
echo "<tr>";
for ($b=1; $b<=9; $b++){
echo "<td>$a * $b = ".$a*$b."</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
</table>
