CodePudding user response：
for($i=0; $i<=10; $i ) {
for($j=0; $j<=10; $j ) {
if($i==0||$i==10) {
echo '*';
}
else {
if($j==0||$j==10) {
echo '*';
}
else {
echo ' ';
}
}
}
echo '<br />';
}
or if you don't care about readabilty,
for($i=0; $i<=10; $i ) {
for($j=0; $j<=10; $j ) {
echo $i==0||$i==10||$j==0||$j==10 ? '*' :' ';
}
echo '<br />';
}
should also do the job.

Only one nested loop is enough. If the current row is between first and last(both exclusive) and if the current column is between first and last(both exclusive), then print a space, else print the asterisk(*).
Snippet:
<?php
$N = 10;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $N; $i ) {
for ($j = 1; $j <= $N; $j ) {
echo $j > 1 && $j < $N && $i > 1 && $i < $N ? ' ' : '*';
}
echo PHP_EOL; // or echo "<br/>";
}
