PHP output array as an HTML table

Question

I am trying to output an array as an html table, a sample of the array is..

Array
(
    [18] => Array
        (
            [colour] => red
            [size] => large
            [age] => 220
        )
        [19] => Array
        (
            [colour] => yellow
            [size] => small
            [age] => 20
        )
        [12] => Array
        (
            [colour] => brown
            [size] => large
            [age] => 2
        )
)

I am ok with doing a foreach for a simple array but does anyone have an example showing this being converted into a table for this type of array?

A table? Like any table? You don't have any requirements more specific than that? Here you go: <table><tr><td>I'm a table!</td></tr></table>. (Do at least make an effort to solve this problem, it helps clarify your intent and shows you're committed to solving it.) — tadman

"I am ok with doing a foreach" - Then have you tried? "being converted into a table for this type of array" - And what 'type of array' is this? Is there some reason a foreach wouldn't iterate over this array? I guess it's not really clear to me where you're actually stuck here. — David

Try something like this:

$data = //your array
$html = "<table>";
foreach($data as $row) {
    $html .= "<tr>";
    foreach ($row as $cell) {
        $html .= "<td>" . $cell . "</td>";
    }
    $html .= "</tr>";
}
$html .= "</table>";

Your question is extremenly vague so this is a vague answer, but you should get the general idea :P
