Create multiple html tables with associative array in PHP - php

Question

I have an array of arrays and accessing the data is fine, but when I try to create separate tables based on a key, which is set to the numeric month that the data pulled from the database falls under.
I have:
array(1) {
[5]=>
array(12) {
["ID"]=>
string(5) "1001"
["created_timestamp"]=>
string(26) "2015-06-11 19:10:00"
["firstname"]=>
string(4) "John"
["lastname"]=>
string(3) "Doe"
}
}
array(1) {
[5]=>
array(12) {
["ID"]=>
string(5) "1002"
["created_timestamp"]=>
string(26) "2015-06-12 19:10:00"
["firstname"]=>
string(4) "Jane"
["lastname"]=>
string(3) "Doe"
}
}
array(1) {
[6]=>
array(12) {
["ID"]=>
string(5) "1003"
["created_timestamp"]=>
string(26) "2015-07-16 19:20:00"
["firstname"]=>
string(4) "John"
["lastname"]=>
string(4) "John"
}
}
The [5] Represents the current month -1. What I want to do is create a table and headers but only once, then populate the table with first and last name.
foreach($m as $key => $value)
{
if(key($m) != $currentKey)
{
$currentKey = key($m);
}
if($key == date("n", strtotime($value['created_timestamp']))-1);
{
for($i=$currentKey; $i<=$lastkey; $i++) {
echo "<br>".count($key);
$table .= '<table id=' . date("F-Y", strtotime($m[$currentKey]['created_timestamp'])) . ' class="tblclass">
<thead><tr><th>Month</th><th>ID</th><th>Customer</th></tr></thead>';
$table .= '<tbody>';
$table .= '<tr><td>'.date("F Y", strtotime($m[$currentKey]['created_timestamp'])).'</td><td>' . $value['ID'] . '</td><td>' . $value['lastname'] . ' ' . $value['firstname'] . '</td></tr>';
$table .= '</tbody>';
$table .= '</table>';
}
}
}
Whenever I run the code it creates a table for each separate array. I want to create one table for each separate month and populate it with anything with the same key. I feel like I'm missing something though. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A dirty solution. Since info is lacking
Here are a few assumptions:
- Array is sorted in ASC order
- There is only one item in each array [ID, Name, Timestamp]
- IF there are more items, then you can just add a loop in there
- $m is the multi-dimensional array.
NOTE: Not tested.
$currentKey = 0;
$count= 0;
$lastKey = count($m) - 1;
foreach($m as $key => $value) {
if(key($m) != $currentKey) {
$currentKey = key($m);
if($count== 0) {
echo "<br>".count($key);
$table .= '<table id=' . date("F-Y", strtotime($m[$currentKey]['created_timestamp'])) . ' class="tblclass">
<thead><tr><th>Month</th><th>ID</th><th>Customer</th></tr></thead>';
$table .= '<tbody>';
} else {
$table .= '</tbody>';
$table .= '</table>';
$table .= '<table id=' . date("F-Y", strtotime($m[$currentKey]['created_timestamp'])) . ' class="tblclass">
<thead><tr><th>Month</th><th>ID</th><th>Customer</th></tr></thead>';
$table .= '<tbody>';
}
}
if($key == date("n", strtotime($value['created_timestamp']))-1) {
$table .= '<tr><td>'.date("F Y", strtotime($value['created_timestamp'])).'</td><td>' . $value['ID'] . '</td><td>' . $value['lastname'] . ' ' . $value['firstname'] . '</td></tr>';
}
if($lastKey == $count) {
$table .= '</tbody>';
$table .= '</table>';
}
$count++;
}
