knight's tour

hey!
to anyone out there who might be able to help me
with my problem about the knight's tour using php
pls. help me..

i've come up with a long solution...
?>
$chessboard=array
(
0 => array (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0),
1 => array (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0),
.
.
.
7 => array (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0),
);
//filling the whole 64 squares 1 by 1 on 1 starting point [3] [4].
$chessboard[3 ] [ 4] = 1 ;
...
...
echo "<table>";
for ($i=1;$i<8,$i++)
{
echo "<tr>"
for ($j=1;$j<8;$j++);
{
echo"<td>".$Chessboard[$i][$j]."</td>";
}
echo "</tr>"
}
?>

im looking for anyone that could give me an idea on how to make the knight's tour on all 64 chess squares without doing a code for each square and for each different starting point.

Mathematics is the language of logic.

Logic is the language of computers.

Computers easily implement mathematics.

Computers are surprisingly very good at arithmetic and calculations.

Computers can be programmed via code.

Copy and paste the equation (problem) in mathematic notation, attempt to translate it to code (easy).

If unsuccessful, post your code.
