How can PHP developers ensure proper closing of HTML elements, such as tables, when dynamically generating content from database queries?

When dynamically generating content from database queries in PHP, developers can ensure proper closing of HTML elements, such as tables, by keeping track of the opening tags that are generated and ensuring that corresponding closing tags are also included. One way to achieve this is by using a counter variable to keep track of the opening tags and then closing them in the correct order. 

// Example PHP code snippet to ensure proper closing of HTML elements when dynamically generating content from database queries

// Start the table
echo "<table>";

// Loop through database query results
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    // Output table rows
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td>" . $row['column1'] . "</td>";
    echo "<td>" . $row['column2'] . "</td>";
    echo "</tr>";
}

// Close the table
echo "</table>";
