What are common mistakes made when using PHP to generate tables in HTML?

One common mistake when generating tables in HTML using PHP is not properly closing the table tags. This can lead to invalid HTML markup and cause display issues in the browser. To solve this, make sure to close the table, row, and cell tags in the correct order after looping through the data to populate the table. 

<?php
// Sample data array
$data = array(
    array("John", "Doe", "john.doe@example.com"),
    array("Jane", "Smith", "jane.smith@example.com")
);

// Start table
echo "<table>";

// Loop through data to populate table rows
foreach ($data as $row) {
    echo "<tr>";
    foreach ($row as $cell) {
        echo "<td>" . $cell . "</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr>";
}

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