You mean something like:
echo "<table>\n";
foreach ($arr as $line) {
echo "<tr>\n";
foreach ($line as $cell) {
echo "<td>$cell</td>\n";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
This is a very crude solution, makes several assumptions, and has no
testing of or handling for unexpected conditions. Depending on the data
you feed it, it may crash or generate invalid markup, but under some
conditions it might instead generate a valid table.
The wonders of usenet will probably screw the formatting too. I can't do
much about that.
