I have data like this

something something_description, something2 something2_description, something3 something3_description...

And now I need with php to get table as:

<tr><td>something</td><td>something_description</td></tr>
<tr><td>something2</td><td>something2_decription</td></tr>

I don't know how many "something" and "something_decriptions" will it be so I need to set some loop.

for now I have this code:

$data = explode(',',$query);

from that I will get array like:

[0] => something someting_description

Now how can I put this into table?

On net I found some examples for sorting array to table, but this is with one more "explode" inside "explode"

I could use some help.

Tnx,

It seems you already have the answer: Loop through the array and explode the elements on ' '. – jeroen Mar 14 at 22:22

Probably you are looking for this:

    $data = explode(',',$query);

    echo '<table>';
    foreach($data as $row){
        echo '<tr>';
        $row = explode(' ',$row);
        foreach($row as $cell){
            echo '<td>';
            echo $cell;
            echo '</td>';
        }
        echo '</tr>';
    }
    echo '</table>';

Try this:

echo "<table><tr>".implode("</tr><tr>",array_map(function($a) {return "<td>".implode("</td><td>",explode(" ",trim($a)))."</td>";},explode(",",$query)))."</tr></table>";

One-liner ftw :p
