This is easy and too much loop less code to write diamond and triangle shapes
Following code is diamond with the technique of css inline styles
[php]
echo ‘<p style="text-align:center;font-family: Verdana;line-height: 5px;">’;
for($I=0;$I<=5;$I++){
echo str_repeat(‘*’,$I);
echo ‘<br />’;
}
for($D=6;$D>=1;$D–){
echo str_repeat(‘*’,$D);
echo ‘<br />’;
}
echo ‘</p>’;
[/php]
Result of diamond code
