It's probably not that professional, but I use it often.

class_table.php

Code

<?php

    class Table
    {
        public $_head = array();

        public $_cells = array();

        public $_rows = array();

        function create_html($info=array())
        {
            $table = "<table";
            if(!empty($info) && is_array($info))
            {
                foreach($info as $a => $b) $table .= " $a=\"$b\"";
            }
            $table .= ">";
            if(!empty($this->_head))
            {
                $table .= '<thead';
                if(!empty($this->_head['extra']) && is_array($this->_head['extra']))
                {
        foreach($this->_head['extra'] as $c => $d) $table .= " $c=\"$d\"";
                }
                $table .= ">";
                foreach($this->_head['cells'] as $j => $cell)
                {
        $table .= "<td";
        if(!empty($cell['extra']) && is_array($cell['extra']))
        {
        foreach($cell['extra'] as $e => $f) $table .= " $e=\"$f\"";
        }
        $table .= ">";
        $table .= "$cell[data]";
        $table .= "</td>";
                }
                $table .= "</thead>";
            }
            if(!empty($this->_rows))
            {
                $table .= '<tbody>';
                foreach($this->_rows as $i => $data)
                {
        $table .= "<tr";
        if(!empty($data['extra']) && is_array($data['extra']))
        {
        foreach($data['extra'] as $c => $d) $table .= " $c=\"$d\"";
        }
        $table .= ">";
        foreach($this->_rows[$i]['cells'] as $j => $cell)
        {
        $table .= "<td";
        if(!empty($cell['extra']) && is_array($cell['extra']))
        {
        foreach($cell['extra'] as $e => $f) $table .= " $e=\"$f\"";
        }
        $table .= ">";
        $table .= "$cell[data]";
        $table .= "</td>";
        }
        $table .= "</tr>";
                }
                $table .= '</tbody>';
            }
            $table .="</table>";
            $this->_head = $this->_rows = $this->_cells = array(); // Clear current cells and rows.
            return $table;
        }

        function make_head($extra=array(), $style=array())
        {
            if(!empty($style) && is_array($style))
            {
                $extra['style'] = '';
                foreach($style as $k => $v)
        $extra['style'] .= "{$k}: {$v};";
            }
            $this->_head = array("cells" => $this->_cells, "extra" => $extra);
            $this->_cells = array(); // Clear the current cells.
        }

        // _rows[]['cells'][]['data']
        function make_row($extra=array(), $style=array())
        {
            if(!empty($style) && is_array($style))
            {
                $extra['style'] = '';
                foreach($style as $k => $v)
        $extra['style'] .= "{$k}: {$v};";
            }
            $this->_rows[] = array("cells" => $this->_cells, "extra" => $extra);
            $this->_cells = array(); // Clear the current cells.
        }

        // _cells[]['data']
        // _cells[]['extra']
        function make_cell($data='', $extra=array(), $style=array())
        {
            if(!empty($style) && is_array($style))
            {
                $extra['style'] = '';
                foreach($style as $k => $v)
        $extra['style'] .= "{$k}: {$v};";
            }
            $this->_cells[] = array("data" => $data, "extra" => $extra);
        }
    }

?>

So, to use this, you'll have to include the table script into your script. Then you can start creating you're table. For instance, if I wanted to make a table like this:

Code

<table class="cool">
    <thead>
        <td style="font-weight: bold">Title</td>
        <td>Details</td>
    </thead>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="2">No information</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Some title</td>
        <td>Some details</td>
    </tr>
</table>

You would use the following code:

Code

<?php

    require_once 'class_tables.php';
    $table = new Table;

    $table->make_cell('Title', array('style' => 'font-weight: bold'));
    $table->make_cell('Details');
    $table->make_head();

    $table->make_cell('No information', array('colspan' => 2));
    $table->make_row();

    $table->make_cell('Some title');
    $table->make_cell('Some details');
    $table->make_row();

    echo $table->create_html(array('class' => 'cool'));

?>

Now of course you could implement this with a variety of things (maybe a loop to generate your tables). It's up to you. Let me know what you think!

Enjoy.
