Help with a for loops problem

What am i doing wrong? I am trying to make a pattern like this where the user enters a height and a width for the design.
*******
*0*0*0*
*0*0*0*

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
int main () {
    int width;
    int height;
cout << "Please enter a width for your box design" << endl;
cin >> width;
cout << "Please enter a height for your box design " << endl;
cin >> height;
for (int heightcounter = 1; heightcounter <= height; heightcounter++){
    cout << endl;
for (int widthcounter = 1; widthcounter <= width; widthcounter++) {

if (heightcounter == 1){
     cout << "*";

}
if (heightcounter % height == 0) {
    cout << "*";
}

else if (widthcounter == 1, widthcounter % width ==0) {
cout << "*";

}
 if (widthcounter == 1, widthcounter % width ==0) {
cout << "0";

}
   }
  }
}

#include <iostream>

void hLine(int width);
void inLine(int width);

int main() {

	int width, height;

	std::cout << "Enter width: ";
	std::cin >> width;
	std::cout << "Enter height: ";
	std::cin >> height;

	hLine(width);

	for (int i = 0; i < height - 2; ++i) {
		inLine(width);
	}

	hLine(width);

	return 0;
}

void hLine(int width) {
	for (int i = 0; i < width; ++i) {
		std::cout << "*";
	}
	std::cout << std::endl;
}

void inLine(int width) {
	for (int i = 0; i < width; ++i) {
		if (i % 2 == 0) {
			std::cout << "*";
		}
		else {
			std::cout << "0";
		}
	}
	std::cout << std::endl;
}

I don't know how to use void and in line h line stuff :(
cire (8284)
if (widthcounter == 1, widthcounter % width == 0) {

is the same as

if (widthcounter % width == 0) {


A working set o' loops:

    for (int heightcounter = 1; heightcounter <= height; heightcounter++) 
    {
        for (int widthcounter = 1; widthcounter <= width; widthcounter++) 
        {
            if (heightcounter == 1 || heightcounter == height)
                cout << "*";
            else
            {
                if (widthcounter == 1 || widthcounter == width || widthcounter % 2 == 1)
                    cout << "*";
                else
                    cout << "0";
            }
        }
        std::cout << '\n';
    }
