在php中创建多个html表时，可以将宽度设置为变量吗？

Question

I'm trying to create an admin page for a small web site. My plan is to create a table for each user with the relevant data put into individual cells.

Here's my code right now:

foreach ($user_data as $key => $element)
{
    echo <<<EOT
<div><table border="1" style="width:100%">
EOT;
        foreach ($element as $subkey => $sub_element)
        {
            echo <<<EOT
<td>$sub_element</td>
EOT;
        }
        echo <<<EOT
</table></div>
EOT;

The problem is the cells in each table are of different length so the data does not line up nice and neat under the column headings (not shown here). I'm wondering if there is a way (using CSS?) to have each cell be a different, but specific, length using a variable for the width. I'm thinking I could just use a counter to keep track of which cell is being created and use a different width for each number in the counter (i.e. an array of 5 different lengths that are looped through along with the data).

Am I even approaching this the right way?

Answer 1

Following is the solution I came up with. Is this best practice? Is there a better way?

<?php
$cell_width = array('20%','10%','10%','10%', '5%', '10%','25%','10%');

foreach ($user_data as $key => $element)
{
    $counter = 0;
    echo <<<EOT
<br /><div><table style="width:100%">
EOT;
    foreach ($element as $subkey => $sub_element)
    {
        echo <<<EOT
<td width=$cell_width[$counter]>$sub_element</td>
EOT;
        $counter++;
    }
    echo <<<EOT
</table></div>
EOT;
}
?>
