Generating Dynamic HTML Tables

PHP dynamic tables render data with HTML styling.

Introduction to PHP Dynamic Tables

Dynamic tables in PHP are a powerful way to render data stored in databases or arrays into a structured HTML format. This allows for flexible, dynamic content that can update in real time based on the data source.

In this tutorial, we will explore how to create a dynamic table using PHP. We'll start by retrieving data from an array, then extend the solution to work with a MySQL database.

Creating a Dynamic Table from an Array

Let's start by creating a simple dynamic table using data from a PHP array. This example will demonstrate how to loop through an array and display its contents in an HTML table.

Connecting to a MySQL Database

For more robust applications, data is often stored in a database. Here's how to fetch data from a MySQL database and render it into a dynamic table.

First, ensure you have the MySQLi extension enabled in your PHP installation, and create a database with a table.

Rendering Data from MySQL

Once connected to the database and the query is executed successfully, you can render the result set into an HTML table.

Conclusion

Creating dynamic tables with PHP provides a flexible way to display data from different sources, such as arrays or databases. By understanding how to loop through data and render it into HTML, you can build dynamic, interactive web applications.
