How can PHP developers improve the efficiency of table generation by avoiding unnecessary table creation within loops?

To improve the efficiency of table generation in PHP, developers should avoid creating the table structure within loops as it can lead to unnecessary overhead. Instead, the table structure should be defined outside of the loop and only the table rows should be generated within the loop. 

// Define the table structure outside of the loop
echo '<table>';
echo '<tr><th>Header 1</th><th>Header 2</th></tr>';

// Generate table rows within the loop
foreach ($data as $row) {
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['column1'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['column2'] . '</td>';
    echo '</tr>';
}

echo '</table>';
