Echo table in PHP

Question

So far, I got my code to read from a .txt file, parse the info and output via html. My question is how can I can echo my $name and $email variables into a two-column table?

Here is my code:

<?php

// Read the file into an array
$users = file("names.txt");

// Cycle through the array
foreach ($users as $user) {

    // Parse the line, retriving the name and e-mail address
    list($name, $email) = explode(" ", $user);

    // Remove newline from $email
    $email = trim($email);

    // Output the data...how could I do this with a two-column table?
    echo "<a href=\"mailto:$email\">$name</a> <br />";

}

?>

Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone! I'm very new to php, so I apologize for my novice question. — Rich2233

just add some markup

// Read the file into an array
$users = file("names.txt");

if (count($users)) {
    // Open the table
    echo "<table>";

    // Cycle through the array
    foreach ($users as $user) {

        // Parse the line, retriving the name and e-mail address
        list($name, $email) = explode(" ", $user);

        // Remove newline from $email
        $email = trim($email);

        // Output a row
        echo "<tr>";
        echo "<td>$name</td>";
        echo "<td><a href=\"mailto:$email\">$email</a></td>";
        echo "</tr>";
    }

    // Close the table
    echo "</table>";
}

A table looks like this:

<table>
   <tr>
     <td>...</td>
     <td>...</td>
     <td>...</td>
   </tr>
   ...
</table>

Use the powers of php to put tr and td's where they should be, inside and outside the for loop.

do you mean more like this?

<?php

// Read the file into an array
$users = file("names.txt");
echo "<table>";
// Cycle through the array
foreach ($users as $user) {

    // Parse the line, retriving the name and e-mail address
    list($name, $email) = explode(" ", $user);

    // Remove newline from $email
    $email = trim($email);

    // Output the data...how could I do this with a two-column table?
    echo "<tr><td>".$name."</td><td>".$email."</td></tr>";

}
echo "</table>";
?>

Use something like this:


<?php

// Read the file into an array
$users = file("names.txt");

echo "<table>";

// Cycle through the array
foreach ($users as $user) {

    // Parse the line, retriving the name and e-mail address
    list($name, $email) = explode(" ", $user);

    // Remove newline from $email
    $email = trim($email);

    // Output the data...how could I do this with a two-column table?
    echo "<tr><td>$email</td><td>$name</td></tr>";

}

echo "</table>";

?>

Basically, what's happening here is that you're setting up an HTML table. Each iteration through your user's loop adds a new row, complete with columns.

Nothing special about it:

echo '<table>';
foreach($users as #user) {
    # list(…)
    echo '<tr><td>';
    echo htmlspecialchars($name);
    echo '</td><td>';
    echo htmlspecialchars($email);
    echo '</td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
