How can PHP variables be effectively used to control and update table content based on button clicks?

To control and update table content based on button clicks using PHP variables, you can set up different conditions based on the button clicked and use PHP variables to dynamically change the table content accordingly. You can use PHP to fetch data from a database, manipulate it based on the button clicked, and then display the updated content in the table.

<?php
// Assuming $buttonClicked is set based on the button clicked
if($buttonClicked == 'button1') {
    // Update table content based on button1
    $tableContent = "Content for button1";
} elseif($buttonClicked == 'button2') {
    // Update table content based on button2
    $tableContent = "Content for button2";
} else {
    // Default content
    $tableContent = "Default content";
}

// Display the table with updated content
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr><td>$tableContent</td></tr>";
echo "</table>";
?>
