conditional statements and loops

[Sergej Andrejev]

Not long ago I was asked to give PHP lections to some private IT
school. I'm on second lection now, and will be teaching my :) students
conditional statements (if..else and switch) and loops (while and for).
That was my story, now the question.

Can you give me an advise on some geeky use of those statements to stir
up some enthusiasm in students.

Thanks in advance

if: echo 'first' or 'last' part of the week depending on day of the week
for: construct an html table of $x columns and $y rows, echo to page
while: break up a sentence in words, store in array
switch: echo sentence in colour specified by first word
