print the pattern as per the given input array , input[2,4,1,6]

Just want to print the pattern by giving input through array

<?php
$a=array(2,4,1,6);
foreach($a as $a1){
for($row=1;$row<=count($a1);$row++){
   for($col=1;$col<=count($a1);$col++){
       echo "*";
   } 
   echo "<br>";
 }
}
?>

I'm using foreach loop to pass the values one by one but that's not working?

below can be used to achieve your expected outcome. (Assuming that the the pattern you want to create is given as the input array)

$a=array(2,4,1,6);
foreach($a as $a1){
  for($col=1;$col<=$a1;$col++){
   echo "*";
  } 
 echo "<br>";
}

I want to print the mirror image some what like this

count($a1) will always == 1.

In the foreach loop $a1 will take the values of the members of the array, so $a1 == 2 on the first loop, 4 on the second, and so on. $a1 is a number, so using count($a1) doesn't make any sense.

The second loop (the for loop) is presumably to print the same number of asterisks as the value of $a1. The value remember, not the count, the count is how many members an array or object has. So instead of $row<=count($a1) you need to use row<=$a1.

The third loop is unnecessary. Unless you're printing in 3 dimensions. Just move the print function inside the first for loop and delete it.

You can use str_pad to avoid all the excessive looping. 

$a = array(2,4,1,6);

foreach($a as $a1){

    echo str_pad("", $a1, "*") . "<br/>\n";

}
