Pictorial Presentation:
Sample Solution:
PHP Code:
<?php
$n=5;
for($i=1; $i<=$n; $i++)
{
for($j=1; $j<=$i; $j++)
{
echo ' * ';
}
echo '\n';
}
for($i=$n; $i>=1; $i--)
{
for($j=1; $j<=$i; $j++)
{
echo ' * ';
}
echo '\n ';
}
?>

Previous: Create a script to construct the specific pattern, using nested for loop.
Next: Write a program to calculate and print the factorial of a number using a for loop. The factorial of a number is the product of all integers up to and including that number, so the factorial of 4 is 4*3*2*1= 24.

PHP: Tips of the Day
How to Sort Multi-dimensional Array by Value?
Try a usort, If you are still on PHP 5.2 or earlier, you'll have to define a sorting function first:
Example:
function sortByOrder($a, $b) { return $a['order'] - $b['order']; } usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');
Starting in PHP 5.3, you can use an anonymous function:
usort($myArray, function($a, $b) { return $a['order'] - $b['order']; });
And finally with PHP 7 you can use the spaceship operator:
usort($myArray, function($a, $b) { return $a['order'] <=> $b['order']; });
To extend this to multi-dimensional sorting, reference the second/third sorting elements if the first is zero - best explained below. You can also use this for sorting on sub-elements.
usort($myArray, function($a, $b) { $retval = $a['order'] <=> $b['order']; if ($retval == 0) { $retval = $a['suborder'] <=> $b['suborder']; if ($retval == 0) { $retval = $a['details']['subsuborder'] <=> $b['details']['subsuborder']; } } return $retval; });
If you need to retain key associations, use uasort() - see comparison of array sorting functions in the manual
