How can PHP be used to dynamically adjust the layout of table content based on the length of text in each cell?

When displaying table content with varying text lengths in each cell, PHP can be used to dynamically adjust the layout by calculating the length of each text and setting appropriate column widths accordingly. This can be achieved by looping through the data to find the longest text in each column, and then applying CSS styling to set the column widths based on the length of the longest text. 

// Sample code to dynamically adjust table layout based on text length in each cell

// Sample data for table content
$tableData = [
    ['Name', 'Age', 'Address'],
    ['John Doe', '25', '123 Main St, City'],
    ['Jane Smith', '30', '456 Elm St, Town'],
    ['Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.', '40', '789 Oak St, Village']
];

// Calculate column widths based on longest text in each column
$columnWidths = [];
foreach ($tableData as $row) {
    foreach ($row as $key => $value) {
        $length = strlen($value);
        if (!isset($columnWidths[$key]) || $length > $columnWidths[$key]) {
            $columnWidths[$key] = $length;
        }
    }
}

// Output table with adjusted column widths
echo '<table>';
foreach ($tableData as $row) {
    echo '<tr>';
    foreach ($row as $key => $value) {
        echo '<td style="width: ' . ($columnWidths[$key] * 10) . 'px;">' . $value . '</td>';
    }
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
