将php数组填充到HTML表中

Question

Populate php array into HTML table

I have data in a php array (say, $rows2) that gives the below output in key-value pairs. I am trying to format this data into an HTML table:

0 => Month:
1 => 07/2011,
2 => 7-8
3 => / 1432 A.H
4 =>  
5 => Location:
6 => Plainfield,
7 => NJ,
8 => USA
9 => Calculation Method:
10 => Value 10
11 =>  
12 => Juristic Method:
13 => Standard 

I tried to use the below code to populate the table:

echo '<table border=1>';
while (list($key, $value) = each($rows2)) {

    echo $value2.$value;
        if($i%5 == 0){
            echo '<tr><td>'.$value2.'</td></tr>';

        }
        $value2='';
    $i++;
}
echo '</table>';

I get the below output:

--------------------------------------------------------
Month:      |   07/2011     |   7-8     |   1432 A.H
--------------------------------------------------------
Location:   |   Plainfield  |   NJ      |   USA
--------------------------------------------------------
Calculation |   ValueX      |  Juristic |   ValueY
Method:     |               |  Method:  |
--------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to split the last row into 2 rows and then colspan the second to look like the below result.

--------------------------------------------------------
Month:      |   07/2011     |   7-8     |   1432 A.H
--------------------------------------------------------
Location:   |   Plainfield  |   NJ      |   USA
--------------------------------------------------------
Calculation |           ValueX      
Method:     |           
--------------------------------------------------------
Juristic    |           ValueY
Method:     |               
--------------------------------------------------------

Could someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If the following things are true:

1. The number of rows will always be the same
2. The number of columns will always be the same

Then you're probably better off just inserting parts of the array right into the table, like so:

<table>
<tr>
    <td><?= $array[0]?></td>
    <td><?= $array[1]?></td>
    <td><?= $array[2]?></td>
    <td><?= $array[3]?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><?= $array[9]?></td>
    <td colspan='3'><?= $array[10]?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><?= $array[12]?></td>
    <td colspan='3'><?= $array[13]?></td>
</tr>
</table>

Answer 2

<table>
<?php
foreach( $row in $rows2) { 
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[0] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[1] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[2] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[4] . '</td>';
    echo '</tr><tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[5] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[6] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[7] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[8] . '</td>';
    echo '</tr><tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[9] . '</td>';
    echo '<td colspan="3">' . $row[10] . '</td>';
    echo '</tr><tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $row[12] . '</td>';
    echo '<td colspan="3">' . $row[13] . '</td>';
    echo '</tr>';
} // end foreach
?>
</table>

I think it would be easier if you just mixed the HTML and PHP together instead of trying to do it in a loop like what you're doing.

echo "<table>
<tr>
    <td>{$arr[0]}</td>
    <td>{$arr[1]}</td>
    <td>{$arr[2]}</td>
    <td>{$arr[3]}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>{$arr[9]}</td>
    <td colspan='3'>{$arr[10]}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>{$arr[12]}</td>
    <td colspan='3'>{$arr[13]}</td>
</tr>
</table>";
