What is the best approach to dynamically display the contents of a text file in a table format using PHP?

To dynamically display the contents of a text file in a table format using PHP, you can read the file line by line and output each line as a row in an HTML table. You can use functions like fopen() to open the file, fgets() to read each line, and explode() to split the line into columns if needed. Finally, you can output the table structure with the file contents displayed in rows. 

<?php
// Open the text file
$file = fopen("example.txt", "r");

// Output table structure
echo "<table border='1'>";
while (!feof($file)) {
    // Read each line from the file
    $line = fgets($file);
    
    // Split the line into columns if needed
    $columns = explode(",", $line);
    
    // Output each line as a row in the table
    echo "<tr>";
    foreach ($columns as $column) {
        echo "<td>" . $column . "</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

// Close the file
fclose($file);
?>
