In this article I would like to share with you a code that I wrote using PHP to display an image of an diamond using asterisk. The code is very short and easy to understand I'm just using for loop statement to create the diamond image.
If you have some questions please send me an email at jakerpomperada@yahoo.com and jakerpomperada@gmail.com.

<?php
$a=6; $b=0; $c=0; $space = 1;
$space = $a - 1;
for ($c = 1; $c <= $a; $c++)
{
for ($b = 1; $b <= $space; $b++)
echo " ";
for ($b = 1; $b <= 2*$c-1; $b++)
printf("<font size='6' color='red'> * </font> ");
printf("<br>");
$space=$space-1;
}
$space = 1;
for ($c = 1; $c <= $a - 1; $c++)
{
for ($b = 1; $b <= $space; $b++){
echo " ";
}
$space++;
for ($b = 1 ; $b <= 2*($a-$c)-1; $b++) {
printf("<font size='6' color='red'> * </font> ");
}
echo "<br>";
}
?>
