How to display the result in a table using PHP

Question

I have PHP code that reads from text files and displays the result where the user enters a word to search for and the system reads the files and displays the result with specified the line number and the file name.

I want to display these results in a table or a form that is well formed.

if its possible, columns must be the name of files and the rows contains the line number.

Code:

<?php


if(isset($_POST["search"]))
    {
        $search =$_POST['name'];
        echo "the word  $search exist: <br><br>";
        foreach(glob($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/readfiletest/*.txt") as $txts)
        {
            $line = 1; 
            $myFileLink = fopen($txts, 'r');
            while(!feof($myFileLink)) 
            {
            $myFileContents = fgets($myFileLink);
            if( preg_match_all('/('.preg_quote($search,'/').')/i', $myFileContents, $matches))
            {

                    foreach($matches[1] as $match)
                    {


                         echo "line [$line] file  ";
                    }
                    echo basename ($txts) . "<br>".PHP_EOL;

            }
            ++$line;
            }
        fclose($myFileLink);
        }
    }
?>

You can write HTML tags using echo

So, write this before foreach loop.

echo "<table>"

Inside of foreach loop has to be like that

echo "<tr><td>".$line. "</td></tr>

Close your table tag after foreach loop

echo "</table>"

And that's it.
