If you have to build complex, dynamic tables, do yourself a favour and use a
class that will allow you to feed directly arrays of numbers.
I use PEAR HTML_Table, which is great and easy to use.
You will have recouped the investment of learning the class after about one
hour.

Subject: [PHP-DB] calculations using variables in html table cell
> I am generating html tables dynamically. Each table has multiple columns
> and various calculations need to be done on each column and displayed

> The $tablerow generates the table data and the $tablefooter generates the
> rows at the bottom that will include the calculated values.

> Preceding the $tablerow declaration, I have declared some variables and
done

> However, I have many other calculations on other columns in other tables.
> Using this method, I would have to declare many new variables just for
