How can PHP variables and loops be effectively utilized to manage image output in rows and columns?

To manage image output in rows and columns using PHP variables and loops, you can create a multidimensional array to store the image paths. Then, use nested loops to iterate over the array and output the images in rows and columns based on your desired layout.

<?php
// Define an array of image paths
$images = array(
    array('image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg', 'image3.jpg'),
    array('image4.jpg', 'image5.jpg', 'image6.jpg'),
    array('image7.jpg', 'image8.jpg', 'image9.jpg')
);

// Output images in rows and columns
foreach ($images as $row) {
    echo '<div class="row">';
    foreach ($row as $image) {
        echo '<div class="col"><img src="' . $image . '" alt="Image"></div>';
    }
    echo '</div>';
}
?>
