How can PHP be used to read a file block by block and output the data in a table format?

To read a file block by block in PHP and output the data in a table format, you can use the `fread()` function to read a specific number of bytes from the file at a time. You can then output the data in a table format by using HTML table tags within a loop to display each block of data.

<?php
$filename = "example.txt";
$blockSize = 1024; // define the block size in bytes

$file = fopen($filename, "r");

echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr><th>Data</th></tr>";

while (!feof($file)) {
    $data = fread($file, $blockSize);
    echo "<tr><td>" . $data . "</td></tr>";
}

echo "</table>";

fclose($file);
?>
