My brain doesn't want to work 🙁
How would I create similiar to this kind of recursive display using php:

This sounds suspiciously like homework to me. Oh well, if it is it's no matter it'll only screw yourself up. :evilgrin:

<?php
function triangle($depth) {
    static $grow=true;
    echo(str_repeat('-', $depth)."\n");
    if($grow && $depth<10) {
        triangle($depth+1);
    } elseif($grow || $depth>0) {
        $grow=false;
        triangle($depth-1);
    } else {
        return;
    }
}

triangle(0);
?>

I didn't know about the "str_repeat" php function 🙁

*edit: thank you for your help 🙂
