How can PHP be used to insert HTML tables into a PDF document effectively?

To insert HTML tables into a PDF document effectively using PHP, you can utilize a library like TCPDF or FPDF. These libraries allow you to create PDF documents programmatically and easily incorporate HTML tables within them. By converting the HTML table to a PDF-compatible format using these libraries, you can generate a PDF document with the table content. 

// Include the TCPDF library
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

// Create new PDF document
$pdf = new TCPDF();

// Add a page
$pdf->AddPage();

// HTML table content
$html = '<table border="1">
            <tr>
                <td>Row 1, Cell 1</td>
                <td>Row 1, Cell 2</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Row 2, Cell 1</td>
                <td>Row 2, Cell 2</td>
            </tr>
        </table>';

// Output the HTML table as PDF
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');

// Close and output PDF document
$pdf->Output('table.pdf', 'D');
