Write a PHP program to print alphabet pattern 'K'

<?php
$j = 5;    
$i = 0;  
for ($row=0; $row<=7; $row++)
{
    for ($column=0; $column<=7; $column++)
      {
        if ($column == 1 or (($row == $column + 1) and $column != 0))
            echo "*";   
        else if ($row == $i and $column == $j)
           {  
              echo "*";    
              $i=$i+1;  
              $j=$j-1;
           }
        else
            echo " ";   
}    
     echo "\n";    
}
?>

Sample Output:

 *   *                                                      
 *  *                                                       
 * *                                                        
 **                                                         
 * *                                                        
 *  *                                                       
 *   *
