php to create these tables?

karimali831 · July 31, 2012

Hi all,

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction in using php to create html tables, for instance this is a lower bracket for a 8/16 tournament-tree and trying to find a way to use php to create this table for 32+ brackets.

This is 8:-

Possible to be done?

You would need to use loops. Beyond that, it's just a matter of echoing the HTML. Have you tried any code yet?

I do not want to echo the whole table I want to use php to dynamically generate the rows/columns (tr's td's) based on the structure.

I know loops must be used but not sure how to do this :s

In your examples, I think you have the brackets set up incorrectly anyway. Look at these images and compare them to your pictures. They don't look right.

Here's how an 8 team bracket looks to me, this is without any formatting.

<?php
$teams = 8;

$levels = 1;
$numTeams = 2;
$matches = array();
do{
$matches[$levels] = $numTeams;

Thanks for your help, should of explained I am trying to do this for the lower/loser bracket,

so the loser in upper bracket drops down to lower bracket.

If you take a look here:-

You will notice the upper bracket is fine but the lower bracket is not

and should have the structure of

http://teamx1.com/lbracket8.html

http://teamx1.com/lbracket.html

Upper bracket is more straightforward but lower bracket I am having problems.

Hope you can help me on this.
