Solution
1st foreach for parent array. Then second for its child..
foreach($array as $r){
$$r['label'] = '<table width="100%">';
foreach($r['data'] as $s){
if(isset($s['label']))$$r['label'] .= '<tr><td align="center">'.$s['label'].'</td></tr>'; // The if condition check weather the label is exist or not if yes then add that in particular label's table
}
$$r['label'] .= '</table>';
}
echo '
<table width="100%" border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Breakfast</th>
<th>Snacks</th>
<th>Lunch</th>
<th>Supper</th>
<th>Dinner</th>
</tr>
</thead>
Here all labels canverted into variable by $$r['label']. And all have there own table Now we add all these tables into the master table to get the output.
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>'.$Breakfast.'</td>
<td>'.$Snacks.'</td>
<td>'.$Lunch.'</td>
<td>'.$Supper.'</td>
<td>'.$Dinner.'</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>';
//?// echo "<pre>";print_r($array);
?>
Output

Try storing all your column names in an array and create a table with it:
foreach($array as $row) {
$column[$i]['label'] = $row['label'];
$column[$i]['data'] = $this->getdata($row['data']);
$i++;
}
function getdata($array) {
$data = '';
foreach($array as $row) {
$data. = $row['label'].',';
}
return $data;
}
Create a table with the column names and try inserting data using a loop with respect to insert into
