1: Pyramid Star Simple Pattern in PHP

Create a simple star pattern using PHP For loop , you have to use two PHP for loop. Due to this, nested for loop define rows to create with the columns of stars.
You are almost done with the addition of this to the below code.

<?php
for($a=0;$a<=5;$a++){
	for($k=0;$k<=$a;$k++){
		echo "*";
	}
	echo "<br/>";
}
?>

The first for loop define the number of rows for the simple pattern. The second loop print each row with the star symbols.

    for($j=1;$j<=$size-$i;$j++){
        echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;";

$start_alphabet = 'A';
$stop_alphabet  = 'E'; // add your alphabet as stop alphabet
$key = (ord($stop_alphabet) - ord($start_alphabet)) + 1;
for($i=1; $i <= $key; ++$i)
{
for($j=1;$j<=$i;++$j)
{
echo ($start_alphabet."&nbsp;"); //add space in alphabet
}
++$start_alphabet;
echo ("<br>"); // brake line
}

Out Put

C C C
D D D D
E E E E E

5: Print pyramid using numbers in PHP

$key = $count = $count_temp = 0;
$rows = 5; // add your number of row
 
for($index = 1; $index <= $rows; ++$index){
	for($space=1; $space <= $rows - $index; ++$space){
		echo ("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"); //add space
		++$count;
	}
	while($key != 2 * $index-1){
		if ($count <= $rows-1){
			echo ($index + $key."&nbsp;"); //add space in numbers
			++$count;
		}else{
			++$count_temp;
			echo ($index + $key-2 * $count_temp."&nbsp;"); //add space in numbers
		}
		++$key;
	}
$count_temp = $count = $key = 0;
echo ("<br>"); // brake line
}
