Chess is a recreational and competitive board game played between two players. It is played on a square chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid black-white alternatively. In this article, we will learn how to design a Chess Board using PHP.

Approach:

  • To create Chess in php; we have to run 2 loops each will create 8 blocks.
  • The inner-loop will generate table-row with black/white background-color based upon a value .
  • If value is even, Black background is generated .
  • If value is odd, White background is generated

Chess Board using For-Loop:

PHP




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<body>
    <table width="400px" border="1px" cellspacing="0px">
        <?php
        echo "Chess by GeeksforGeeks";
        $value = 0;
  
        for($col = 0; $col < 8; $col++) {
            echo "<tr>";
            $value = $col;
  
            for($row = 0; $row < 8; $row++) {
                if($value%2 == 0) {
                    echo 
"<td height=40px width=20px bgcolor=black></td>";
                    $value++;
                }
                else {
                    echo 
"<td height=40px width=20px bgcolor=white></td>";
                    $value++;
                }
            }
            echo "</tr>";
        }
        ?>
    </table>
</body>
  
</html>


 

Chess Board using while-Loop:

PHP




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<body>
    <table width="400px" border="1px" cellspacing="0px">
        <?php
        echo "Chess by GeeksforGeeks";
        $value = 0;
        $col = 0;
  
        while($col < 8) {
            $row = 0;
            echo "<tr>";
            $value = $col;
          
            while($row < 8) {
                if($value%2 == 0) {
                    echo 
"<td height=40px width=20px bgcolor=black></td>";
                    $value++;
                }
                else {
                    echo 
"<td height=40px width=20px bgcolor=white></td>";
                    $value++;
                }
                $row++;
            }
            echo "</tr>";
            $col++;
        }
        ?>
    </table>
</body>
  
</html>


Chess Board using do-while loop:

PHP




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<body>
    <table width="400px" border="1px" cellspacing="0px">
        <?php
        echo "Chess by GeeksforGeeks";
        $value = 0;
        $col = 0;
  
        do {
            $row = 0;
            echo "<tr>";
            $value = $col;
  
            do {  
                if($value%2 == 0) {
                    echo 
"<td height=40px width=20px bgcolor=black></td>";
                    $value++;
                }
                else {
                    echo 
"<td height=40px width=20px bgcolor=white></td>";
                    $value++;
                }
                $row++;
            }while($row < 8);
            echo "</tr>";
            $col++;
        }while($col < 8);
        ?>
    </table>
</body>
  
</html>


Output: All the code will give the same output.
