Hi,
I came up with this......
[PHP]
<?php
for($i=8;$i>0;)
{
for($j=$i;$j>0; $j--)
{
//echo $i;
echo " *";
}
if($i<4) echo " *";
echo "<br>";
$i=$i-2;

}
for($i=0;$i<10; )
{
for($j=$i;$j>0; $j--)
{
//echo $i;
echo " *";
}
if($i<4) echo " *";
echo "<br>";
$i=$i+2;

}
?>
[/PHP]

I was striving trying to figure out some logic to make this pattern.. needless to say i couldn't.
