This PHP class can convert an array into ascii text table.

Example Usage:

require_once ('ArrayToTextTable.php');

$data = array(
	array('company'=>'AIG', 'id'=>1, 'balance'=> '-$99,999,999,999.00'),
	array('company'=>'Wachovia', 'id'=>2, 'balance'=> '-$10,000,000.00'),
	array('company'=>'HP', 'id'=>3, 'balance'=> '$555,000.000.00'),
	array('company'=>'IBM', 'id'=>4, 'balance'=> '$12,000.00')
);

$renderer = new ArrayToTextTable($data);
$renderer->showHeaders(true);
$renderer->render();

Output of above example

+----------+----+---------------------+
| COMPANY  | ID |       BALANCE       |
+----------+----+---------------------+
| AIG      | 1  | -$99,999,999,999.00 |
| Wachovia | 2  | -$10,000,000.00     |
| HP       | 3  | $555,000.000.00     |
| IBM      | 4  | $12,000.00          |
+----------+----+---------------------+

Useful Methods:

render default: false

You can catch the output of the render with render(true)

$output = $renderer->render(true);

showHeaders default: false

Show the headers using the key values of the array for the titles

$renderer->showHeaders(true);

setMaxWidth default: 30

Set the maximum width (number of characters) per column before truncating

$renderer->setMaxWidth(30);

setMaxHeight default: 2

Set the maximum height (number of lines) per row before truncating

$renderer->setMaxHeight(30);
