Table in PHP with flatfile database - php

Question

I'm trying to display the content of a text file in table format, with two columns and four rows:
Mateo;Pérez
Marcos;Martínez
Lucas;Télez
Juan;Pez
This is the PHP I'm using but the result is not the desired:
<?php
$course = file_get_contents("course.txt");
$line = explode("\n", $course);
for($i = 0; $i<count($line); $i++) {
$item = explode(";", $line[$i]);
{echo"
<table border='1' style='width:100%'>
<tr>
<td>".$item[0]."</td>
<td>".$item[1]."</td>
</tr>
</table>
";
}
}
?>
This is what i get:

Answer 1

This might be what you want.
<?php
$course = file_get_contents("course.txt");
$line = explode("\n", $course);
echo "<table border='1' style='width:100%'>";
for($i = 0; $i<count($line); $i++)
{
$item = explode(";", $line[$i]);
{
echo "
<tr>
<td>".$item[0]."</td>
<td>".$item[1]."</td>
</tr>
";
}
}
echo "</table>"
?>
The problem you has is that you were looping the table as well as the TR and TD tags. So basically you had multiple tables, instead of one.

<?php
$course = file_get_contents("course.txt");
$line = explode("\n", $course);
?>
<table border='1' style='width:100%'>
<?php
for($i = 0; $i<count($line); $i++) {
$item = explode(";", $line[$i]);
{echo"
<tr>
<td>".$item[0]."</td>
<td>".$item[1]."</td>
</tr>
";
}
}?>
<?php
</table>
?>

<table border='1' style='width:100%'>

Answer 4

Your html was not structured for desired result . Also try to make clear codes .. Try this-
<table border='1' style='width:100%'>
<?php
$course = file_get_contents("course.txt");
$line = explode("\n", $course);
for($i = 0; $i<count($line); $i++) {
$item = explode(";", $line[$i]);
{
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $item[0]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $item[1]; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
}
?>
</table>
