I am new to php and need help creating addition and multiplication tables using the html code we were given. I feel like I am on the right track, but I am getting a few errors and I cant figure them out. One of the errors is that it tells me I am not putting in a valid number for rows even though it is a positive number so it should work. Here is my code and all help is appreciated thanks in advance.

 

<html>
    <head/>
    <body>
    <form method="POST" action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
      <table border="1">
     <tr><td>Number of Rows:</td><td><input type="text" name="rows" /></td></tr>
     <tr><td>Number of Columns:</td><td><select name="columns">
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="4">4</option>
    <option value="8">8</option>
    <option value="16">16</option>


      </select>
    </td></tr>
    <tr><td>Operation:</td><td><input type="radio" name="operation" value="multiplication"     checked="yes">Multiplication</input><br/>
    <input type="radio" name="operation" value="addition">Addition</input>
    </td></tr>
    </tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Generate" /></td>    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>


    <?php


        //check to see if num of rows is numberic
        if (isset($_POST["rows"]) && is_numeric($_POST["rows"])){
                //check to see if rows is a positive number
                if($_POST["rows"] > 0){


                if(isset($_POST) && $_POST['operation'] == "multiplication")
                {
                        for($r = 0; $r < $_POST["rows"]; $r++){
                                echo '<tr>';


                                for($c = 0; $c < $_POST["columns"]; $c++){
                                        echo '<td>' .$c*$r. '</td>';
                                echo '</tr>';


                                }}
                }


                else if (isset($_POST) && $_POST['operation'] == "addition")
                {
                        for($r = 0; $r < $_POST["rows"]; $r++){
                                echo '<tr>';


                                for($c = 0; $c < $_POST["columns"]; $c++){
                                        echo '<td>' .$c+$r. '</td>';
                                echo '</tr>';
                        }
                     }
                }


                }
                else{
                echo 'Invalid rows columns parameters';
                exit();
                }
        }
        else{
        echo 'Invalid rows columns parameters';
        exit();
        }


    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

I was bored, it isn't perfect but it works and needs to be stylized: 

<?php
/* I would pull the form and table apart, by that I mean */
/* don't try to do two things at once. I haven't done    */
/* any number validation and I'm sure this needs to be   */
/* modified for I don't know what exactly the initial    */
/* HTML looked liked. 																	 */
if ( isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == "Generate" ) {
	$numRows = $_POST['rows'];
	$numCols = $_POST['columns'];
	$operand = $_POST['operation'];
}


?>
