There are 2 ways I can think of doing this:

1 - You could define the table as a variable, and echo it, inside a PHP block, so that you have the data for parsing:

<?php
// define the table with heredoc
$data = <<<HTML

    <table>
        ...
    </table>
HTML;

// print the table
echo $data;

// follow the instructions from your link here
parseTable($data);

2 - You could also grab the data using an output buffer, :

<?php
// start a buffer
ob_start();
?>
<table>
        ...
</table>
<?php
// get the table in a variable 
$data = ob_get_contents();

// flush the buffer to output
ob_end_flush();

// follow the instructions from your link here
parseTable($data);
