XHTML/PHP Table

[burt.munn]

I need to write a script which can display an XHTML table with a numeric value displayed in each table cell. The script should use a nested loop construct and should be able, by changing the value of two variables (for example, $intWidth and $intHeight). to adjust the size of the table. This is what I have:
<?php

$i =1;

while($i<=8) {
    if($i%4==1) {
        echo "<tr>";
    }
    echo "<td>".$i."</td>";
    $i++;
    if($i%4==1) {
        echo "</tr>";
    }
}

?>

</table>

The rows and cols are straightworward...

$rows = 10;
$cols = 9;

function createTable($rows,$cols)
{
    $i=1;
    $table='<table>';
    for($r=0;$r<$rows;$r++)
    {
        $table .= '<tr>';
        for($c=0;$c<$cols;$c++)
        {
            $table .= "<td>$i</td>";
            $i++;
        }
        $table .= '<tr>';
    }
    $table .= '</table>';
    return $table;
}

echo createTable($rows,$cols);

An example.

Another stupid question! can I ask if this could be done in something other than "function"?

What's wrong with a function? It's probably the best way to do it.
If you don't like it take off the function line and opening brace and the end closing brace and change 'return' to 'echo' and delete the last line. Done.

BTW - the other threads. Abandoned, Live, Solved?
