RE: [PHP] Re: Table formatting

I like this method a lot. Now, considering I do like FOR looping as a fact, how can I make a loop inside another loop. I mean, if I tell the first loop that $i=0 and then do the comparison and then add 1 to $i, in the inner or second loop should I state that $i=$i or what? Also make it $i=0???
