HELP! How to take input message in a form and output each charain a square box?

[dragontail]

I am trying to work on a code for php where you first have a form that asks the user to input a message then input a color. When they click the submit button it takes them to the output page.  It should take their message and output it into boxes in a square. And the background should turn the color that they types in.

And where are you stuck, exactly?

this is what i have:

 

echo '<table border="1" align="center" height="10px" width="10px" cellpadding="1" >';

for ($i=0; $i<$rows; $i++) {

echo "<tr>";

{

for ($n=0; $n<$cols; $n++) {

$letter[] =$msg[$n];

echo "<td>".$letter[$n]."</td>";

}

}

echo "</tr>";

}

 

echo "</table>";

 

i can't figure out how to continue a text input onto the next row and not have it repeat.

 

example: red

 

the code i have above would generate

 

h e l l o

h e l l o

h e l l o

h e l l o

h e l l o

 

instead i want it to be

 

 

h e l

l o

 

creating a square matrix.

 

thank you.
