Fill a table vertically in php - php

Question

I'd like to fill a table vertically. For example one name on one row, the age on the second row alternately, and limit the table to 4 columns:
Is this possible with this kind of code?
Here is my Code:
<?php
$age = array("26","16","17","19","24","30");
$name = array("adam","andrew","tim","mike","don","eddy");
echo "<table border=1>";
for($i=0;$i<count($age);$i++)
{
if ($i > 0 && $i % 4 == 0)
{
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
echo "<td>";
echo $name[$i];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $age[$i];
echo "</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
?>

Please try this. It is not the most elegant way but will give you an idea and maybe improve your answer. I will suggest you maybe use multi-dimensional array to store age and name together.
$age = array("26","16","17","19","24","30");
$name = array("adam","andrew","tim","mike","don","eddy");
$ageChunks = array_chunk($age, 4); //divide age array into chunks of 4
$nameChunks = array_chunk($name, 4); //divide name array into chunks of 4
//print table data
function printData($td)
{
echo "<td> ".$td." <td>";
}
//print table row. Assumption here is $nameChunks and $ageChunks are same length.
function printRow($nameChunks, $ageChunks)
{
foreach ($nameChunks as $key=>$val) {
echo "<tr>";
array_map("printData", $nameChunks[$key]);
echo "</tr><tr>";
array_map("printData", $ageChunks[$key]);
echo "</tr>";
}
}
//print table
function printTable($nameChunks, $ageChunks)
{
echo "<table>";
printRow($nameChunks, $ageChunks);
echo "</table>";
}
printTable($nameChunks, $ageChunks);

you need to change condition
if ($i > 0 && $i % 4 == 0) to if ($i > 0 && $i % 2 == 0) because you print 2 columns per iteration
