help creating a vertical table chart

[tsuchijun]

I am trying to create something similar to a bar chart, using a html table based on the values stored in an array.  However, I cannot seem to get the next column to begin after printing the number at the bottom.  I can get it going horizontal, but I would like to create a vertical version.  If anyone can provide me with help I would greatly appreciate it.

 

<?php

$month = date("n");     //numeric representation of month (1-12)
$year = date("Y");      //4 digit representation of year
$day = date("d");   //numeric representation of the day of the month


// constant variable to determine how many days alive according to the current date
define('DAYS_ALIVE',(($year - 1902) * 365.24) + (($month - 1) * 30.5 )+ ($day - 1)); 
$divident = 100000; // variable for modulus
$divider = 10000; // variable to shrink the divident

for($i = 0; $i <= 4; $i++) // for loop to fill the array with days alive 
{	
	$daysArray[$i]= floor((DAYS_ALIVE % $divident)/$divider); //calculates the single digit to store in array

	$divident= $divident/10; //after every iteration the divident is decreased
	$divider= $divider/10; //after every iteration the divider is decreased
}

echo "<table border='2' width='100%'>"; 

$arraySize = count($daysArray); //variable for the array size

for($k=0;$k<=$arraySize-1;$k++)
{

echo "<tr>";

	for($j=1;$j<=$daysArray[$k];$j++)
	{

	echo "<td> * </td>";

	}

	echo "<td>$daysArray[$k]</td>";


}	


	echo "</table>";
?>

 

What I want is something like this.

Here you go. That should work. Although.... was this your code? If yes, then you shouldn't use html border or width. Use CSS. I also changed your for loops. You could also achieve a nice result with div heights as percentages or something similar to rid the use of tables.

 

<?php
/************************************************************************/
/*************some variable setting**************************************/
$month = date("n");     //numeric representation of month (1-12)
$year = date("Y");      //4 digit representation of year
$day = date("d");   //numeric representation of the day of the month


// constant variable to determine how many days alive according to the current date
define('DAYS_ALIVE',(($year - 1902) * 365.24) + (($month - 1) * 30.5 )+ ($day - 1)); 
$divident = 100000; // variable for modulus
$divider = 10000; // variable to shrink the divident

for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) // for loop to fill the array with days alive 
{	
	$daysArray[$i]= floor((DAYS_ALIVE % $divident)/$divider); //calculates the single digit to store in array

	$divident= $divident/10; //after every iteration the divident is decreased
	$divider= $divider/10; //after every iteration the divider is decreased
}
/*************some variable setting**************************************/
/************************************************************************/



/************PRINTING THE TABLE*****************************************/
echo '<table><tr>'; 
for($i=0;$i<5;++$i)
	{
		echo '<td style="vertical-align:bottom;"><table>';

		for($j=0;$j<$daysArray[$i];$j++)
			{
				echo '<tr><td style="border:1px solid #000"> * </td></tr>';
			}

		echo "<tr><td>$daysArray[$i]</td></tr></table></td>";
	}		
echo "<tr></table>";
?>

Ahh, it was as simply as that? I was thinking maybe I had to compare the sizes of the array to determine whether or not to print a * in that cell, but thank you so much, greatly appreciated.
