Editor’s note: To create one HTML table is easy, but to create multiple HTML tables, We have to copy and paste the code many times. However we could do the job with a PHP for loop.
Here are the steps:
- First we create a PHP variable $numoftable which indicate the number of HTML tables you want to create. In this example, we are going to create 5 HTML tables:
<?php $numoftable = 5; ?>
- We then create a for loop with to repeat the code of a HTML tables:
<?php $numoftable = 5; for($i=0; $i<$numoftable; $i++){?> ............ <?php } ?>
- Then we put the HTML table code inside the for loop. The code will repeat itself when $i less then $numoftable. Because $i = 0 in the beginning, and $i will add 1 to itself, it will keep looping as far as it is less than 5. In this case the HTML table will repeat itself 5 times:
<?php for($i=0; $i < $numoftable; $i++){?> <table border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <?php } ?>
All together:
<?php $numoftable = 5; for($i=0; $i < $numoftable; $i++){?> <table border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <?php } ?>
So we get from this example is 5 HTML tables.
