Since you mentioned it, what do you think is the best entry level book for programming PHP? I'd like to hear others opinions as well. -----Original Message----- From: Svensson, B.A.T.

I don't want to be rude, but the question you ask are fairly basic programming knowledge, and I would recommend you to get a good beginners book on programming. Anyway, on to your question: If you want to write a table, but alos need to manipulte the contents in each field, then you need to make two itterations, e.g. loops. The outer loop will control how many rows you have, and the inner will control how many columns you have. If you want to manipulate the each values in the table it has to be done in the inner loop. The outer loop value will tell you wich row you currently working on, and the inner loop value will tell you wich column you work with. Just like a X-Y cordinate system. For instance if you want a fixed value, different for each, rows, then reuse the outer loops incrementer) and display this value. If you want to increase the numbers all the time, then locate and incrementor in the inner loop and display this value. And finaly as an exercice you should try to modify the code so it displays the numbers a) in revers order, b) up-down and top left, c) and rotate the matrix 90 degrees, e.g make it a 5 rows x 3 cols matris and display the numbers just as they are in the 3x5 matrix, but rotated. If you solve these three problem you will be much more confident and better suited in handling itterations afterwards.
