What could be causing the PHP file to display at the top of the page instead of within the specified table column?

The issue could be caused by the PHP file not being properly enclosed within the PHP tags. To solve this issue, make sure that the PHP code is enclosed within <?php ?> tags. Additionally, ensure that the PHP file is being included or echoed within the specified table column.

&lt;?php
// Example PHP code displaying content within a table column
echo &quot;&lt;table&gt;&quot;;
echo &quot;&lt;tr&gt;&quot;;
echo &quot;&lt;td&gt;&quot;;
// Include the PHP file content here
include &#039;your_php_file.php&#039;;
echo &quot;&lt;/td&gt;&quot;;
echo &quot;&lt;/tr&gt;&quot;;
echo &quot;&lt;/table&gt;&quot;;
