How can PHP be used to automate the insertion of HTML table structures generated from Excel data into a webshop database?

To automate the insertion of HTML table structures generated from Excel data into a webshop database using PHP, you can read the Excel file, parse the data, and insert it into the database using SQL queries. You can use libraries like PHPExcel or PHPSpreadsheet to read Excel files and manipulate the data easily. Once the data is extracted, you can generate HTML table structures dynamically and insert the data into the database accordingly. 

<?php
// Include the PHPExcel library
require_once 'PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel.php';

// Load the Excel file
$excel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load('your_excel_file.xlsx');

// Get the active sheet
$sheet = $excel->getActiveSheet();

// Get the highest row and column in the sheet
$highestRow = $sheet->getHighestDataRow();
$highestColumn = $sheet->getHighestDataColumn();

// Connect to the database
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=your_database', 'username', 'password');

// Loop through each row in the Excel sheet
for ($row = 1; $row <= $highestRow; $row++) {
    // Extract data from the Excel sheet
    $data1 = $sheet->getCellByColumnAndRow(0, $row)->getValue();
    $data2 = $sheet->getCellByColumnAndRow(1, $row)->getValue();
    // Generate HTML table structure
    $html = "<table><tr><td>$data1</td><td>$data2</td></tr></table>";
    // Insert data into the database
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO your_table (column1, column2) VALUES (:data1, :data2)");
    $stmt->execute(array('data1' => $data1, 'data2' => $data2));
}
?>
