How can PHP functions be utilized to streamline the process of filtering and displaying specific data in a table?

To streamline the process of filtering and displaying specific data in a table using PHP functions, you can create a function that takes in the data to be displayed and a filter criteria. This function can then iterate through the data, apply the filter, and output the filtered data in a table format. 

<?php
// Function to filter and display data in a table
function displayFilteredData($data, $filter) {
    echo "<table>";
    foreach ($data as $row) {
        if ($row['criteria'] == $filter) {
            echo "<tr>";
            echo "<td>" . $row['column1'] . "</td>";
            echo "<td>" . $row['column2'] . "</td>";
            // Add more columns as needed
            echo "</tr>";
        }
    }
    echo "</table>";
}

// Example data
$data = array(
    array('criteria' => 'filter1', 'column1' => 'Data1', 'column2' => 'Data2'),
    array('criteria' => 'filter2', 'column1' => 'Data3', 'column2' => 'Data4'),
    // Add more rows as needed
);

// Call the function with data and filter criteria
displayFilteredData($data, 'filter1');
?>
