0 votes
function convertMatrixToString($matrix) {
    $sizesarr = array_fill(0, count($matrix[0]), 0);

    // Determine the maximum width of each column
    foreach ($matrix as $row) {
        foreach ($row as $i => $val) {
            $str = (string) $val;
            if ($sizesarr[$i] < strlen($str)) {
                $sizesarr[$i] = strlen($str);
            }
        }
    }

    // Format matrix into a properly spaced string
    $result = array_map(function($row) use ($sizesarr) {
        return implode(' ', array_map(function($str, $i) use ($sizesarr) {
            return str_pad($str, $sizesarr[$i]);
        }, array_map('strval', $row), array_keys($row)));
    }, $matrix);

    return implode("\n", $result);
}

$matrix = [
    [4, 7, 9, 18, 29, 0],
    [1, 9, 18, 99, 4, 3],
    [9, 17, 89, 2, 7, 5],
    [19, 49, 6, 1, 9, 8],
    [29, 4, 7, 9, 18, 6]
];

echo convertMatrixToString($matrix);



/*
run:

4  7  9  18 29 0
1  9  18 99 4  3
9  17 89 2  7  5
19 49 6  1  9  8
29 4  7  9  18 6
