Question

I have a table which is currently displayed like this:

Question        OptionType
What is 2+2
What is 3+3
What is 4+4
A-D
A-C
A-E

But I do not want it displayed like this obviously, the questions should go under the “Questions” heading and the option types should go under the “OptionType” heading. How can I get the table to be displayed as below:

Question        OptionType
What is 2+2     A-D
What is 3+3     A-C
What is 4+4     A-E

Below is the code:

echo "<table>
  <tr>
  <th class='questionth'>Question</th>
  <th class='optiontypeth'>Option Type</th>
  </tr>";
  foreach ($searchResults as $question) {
    echo '<tr><td>'.htmlspecialchars($question).'</td></tr>';
          }
  foreach ($searchOption as $option) {
    echo '<tr><td>'.htmlspecialchars($option).'</td></tr>';
}
  echo "</table>";

When you build the arrays, merge them together so that it will look like

$results[] = array('question' => $question, 'type'=> $type)

then you would do

foreach($results as result) {
            echo '<tr><td>'.htmlspecialchars($result['question']).'</td>';
            echo '<td>'.htmlspecialchars($result['type']).'</td></tr>';
    }

However using the code you gave me, I would do it like this

echo "<table>
  <tr>
  <th class='questionth'>Question</th>
  <th class='optiontypeth'>Option Type</th>
  </tr>";
  foreach ($searchResults as $key=>$question) {
    echo '<tr><td>'.htmlspecialchars($question).'</td>';
    echo '<td>'.htmlspecialchars($searchOption[$key]).'</td></tr>';
  }

  echo "</table>";
