Random <br> being generated - php

Question

I have a .php file that generates a table based on a directory's content. But for some reason it also generates <br> tags before the table, the more contents inside the directory the more <br> tags.
Here's the code responsible of this:
<main class="mdl-layout__content" style="background-color: white; background-image: url('https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0357/97/1414469732022.gif'); background-size: auto 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;">
<center>
<div class="page-content" style="padding: 24px; align-items: center; justify-content: center;">
<?php
echo "<div>\n";
echo "<table class=\"mdl-data-table mdl-js-data-table mdl-shadow--2dp\" style=\"min-width:300px\"\n";
echo " <thead>\n";
echo " <tr>\n";
echo " <th class=\"mdl-data-table__cell--non-numeric\">File</th>\n";
echo " <th>Size</th>\n";
echo " </tr>\n";
echo " </thead>\n";
echo " <tbody>";
if ($path) echo '<tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center">..</td></tr><br />';
foreach (glob($root.$path.'/*') as $file) {
$file = realpath($file);
$link = substr($file, strlen($root) + 1);
if (is_dir($file)){
echo '<tr><td style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"><i class="material-icons" style="vertical-align:middle">folder</i></td><td style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"><span style="vertical-align:middle">'.basename($file).'</span></td></tr><br />';
}
else {
$lastpath = path2url($file);
$size = formatSizeUnits(filesize($file));
echo '<tr><td>'.basename($file).'</td><td>'.$size.'</td></tr><br />';
}
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</center>
<button class="show-modal mdl-button mdl-js-button mdl-button--fab mdl-js-ripple-effect mdl-button--colored" id="cornerbutton">
<i class="material-icons">add</i>
</button>
<dialog class="mdl-dialog">
<div class="mdl-dialog__content">
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload_file.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000000000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
</div>
<div class="mdl-dialog__actions mdl-dialog__actions--full-width">
<input type="submit" class="mdl-button" value="UPLOAD" ></button>
<button type="button" class="mdl-button close">ABORT MISSION!!</button>
</div>
</form>
</dialog>
</main>

Answer 1

There are br tag added to end of some lines like
echo '<tr><td>'.basename($file).'</td><td>'.$size.'</td></tr>*<br />*';
Just remove those.
