In terms of best practices, how can the PHP code for creating a multiplication table be optimized or improved for better readability and efficiency?

To optimize the PHP code for creating a multiplication table, we can improve readability by using nested loops to generate the table rows and columns. Additionally, we can reduce unnecessary calculations by only computing the product once and storing it in a variable. This will improve efficiency by minimizing the number of calculations needed. 

<?php
// Define the size of the multiplication table
$tableSize = 10;

// Generate the multiplication table using nested loops
echo "<table border='1'>";
for ($i = 1; $i <= $tableSize; $i++) {
    echo "<tr>";
    for ($j = 1; $j <= $tableSize; $j++) {
        $product = $i * $j;
        echo "<td>{$i} x {$j} = {$product}</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
