Table in PHP with flatfile database

Question

I'm trying to display the content of a text file in table format, with two columns and four rows:

Mateo;Pérez
Marcos;Martínez
Lucas;Télez
Juan;Pez

This is the PHP I'm using but the result is not the desired:

<?php

$course = file_get_contents("course.txt");
$line = explode("\n", $course);
for($i = 0; $i<count($line); $i++) {
    $item = explode(";", $line[$i]);
    {echo"

<table border='1' style='width:100%'>
  <tr>
    <td>".$item[0]."</td>
    <td>".$item[1]."</td>
  </tr>

</table>

";
    }
}
?>

This is what i get:

This might be what you want.

<?php

$course = file_get_contents("course.txt");
$line = explode("\n", $course);

echo "<table border='1' style='width:100%'>";

for($i = 0; $i<count($line); $i++) 
{
    $item = explode(";", $line[$i]);
    {
    echo "
    <tr>
        <td>".$item[0]."</td>
        <td>".$item[1]."</td>
    </tr>
    ";
    }
}

echo "</table>"

?>

The problem you has is that you were looping the table as well as the TR and TD tags. So basically you had multiple tables, instead of one.
