How can PHP be utilized to efficiently handle the display of events within a dynamically generated calendar table?

To efficiently handle the display of events within a dynamically generated calendar table using PHP, we can store event data in a database and retrieve it based on the calendar date. We can then populate the calendar cells with the corresponding event information. 

// Assuming $events is an array of event data with keys as event dates

// Loop through each day in the calendar
for ($i = 1; $i <= $days_in_month; $i++) {
    $date = $year . '-' . $month . '-' . str_pad($i, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); // Format date as yyyy-mm-dd
    $event_data = isset($events[$date]) ? $events[$date] : ''; // Get event data for the date

    // Display the date and event information in the calendar cell
    echo '<td>';
    echo $i; // Display the day of the month
    echo '<br>';
    echo $event_data; // Display event information
    echo '</td>';
}
