Are there any potential pitfalls to avoid when creating a dynamic table with PHP?

One potential pitfall when creating a dynamic table with PHP is not properly escaping user input, which can lead to SQL injection attacks. To avoid this, always use prepared statements or parameterized queries when interacting with a database. 

// Example of using prepared statements to avoid SQL injection

// Assuming $conn is a valid database connection

$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("s", $username);

$username = $_POST['username'];
$stmt->execute();

// Process the results as needed
