<?php
$cells = array( 'First', 'Second' );
$items = array( array( 'one', 'two' ), array( 'one', 'two' ),
array( 'one', 'two' ), array( 'one', 'two' ), array( 'one', 'two' ), arr
$numTables = 3;
$items = array_chunk( $items, ceil( count( $items ) / $numTables ) );
$html = '';
foreach( $items as $tableItems )
{
if( $tableItems )
{
$html .= '<table><tr>';
foreach( $cells as $cell )
{
$html .= '<td>'.$cell.'</td>';
}
$html .= '</tr>';
foreach( $tableItems as $rowItems )
{
$html .= '<tr>';
foreach( $rowItems as $item )
{
$html .= '<td>'.$item.'</td>';
}
$html .= '</tr>';
}
$html .= '</table>';
}
}
?>
