Hello Reader! All of us must have designed a code to print pyramid or some other pattern of asterisk using C, C++. Here is a simple program to print the different asterisk(stars) patterns in PHP. A pattern of stars is a way of arranging these in some logical manner or they may form a sequence.

/*Program to draw a pattern of asterisk using PHP */

<?php
	echo "Pattern 1:<br>";
	for ($i=0; $i <5 ; $i++)
	{ 
		for ($j=1; $j <5-$i ; $j++)
		{ 
			echo "&nbsp;&nbsp ";
		}
		for ($k=0; $k <=$i ; $k++)
		{ 
			echo "* ";
		}
		echo "<br>";
	}
	echo "Pattern 2:<br>";
	for ($i=1; $i <=4 ; $i++)
	{ 
		for ($j=$i; $j < 4; $j++)
		{
			echo "&nbsp ";
		}
		for ($k=1; $k <($i*2) ; $k++)
		{ 
			echo "* ";
		}
		echo "<br>";
	}
	echo "Pattern 3:<br>";
	for ($i=1; $i <=6 ; $i++)
	{ 
		for ($j=6; $j >=1 ; $j--)
		{
