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 ';
}
?>

Sample Output:

 *                                                          
 *  *

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.
