i have been trying to read my json data from json file and displaying in my application using php. Although i have managed to display my json data in my application but i want to display it in tables so that it looks nice.

What I have tried:

here's the table code block

<table class="table" id="allM">
  <thead class="thead-light">
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">ID</th>
      <th scope="col">PhoneNumber</th>
      <th scope="col">Body</th>
      <th scope="col">Date</th>
      <th scope="col">IsRead</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
  </tbody>
</table>

here's the php code block

<?php
    $jsondata = file_get_contents("json_response.json");
    $json = json_decode($jsondata,true);
    $output = "<ul>";
    foreach($json["Messages"] as $messages)
    {
        $output .= "".$messages["id"]."";
        $output .= "<li>".$messages["phonenumber"]."</li>";
        $output .= "<li>".$messages["body"]."</li>";
        $output .= "<li>".$messages["M_date"]."</li>";
        $output .= "<li>".$messages["isRead"]."</li> <br/>";
        
    }
    $output .= "</ul>";
    echo $output;
    
    ?>

any suggestions would be great!

You would need to assign identified to each table column such that you can access it. Further, given jsondata is fetched from outside, you need to populate the table dynamically (to get the right number of rows)

Try something like below:

JavaScript

var el_up = document.getElementById("GFG_UP"); 
          
        var list = [ 
            { "col_1": "val_11", "col_3": "val_13" }, 
            { "col_2": "val_22", "col_3": "val_23" }, 
            { "col_1": "val_31", "col_3": "val_33" } 
        ]; 
          
        el_up.innerHTML = "Click on the button to create " 
                +   "the table from the JSON data.<br><br>" 
                + JSON.stringify(list[0]) + "<br>"  
                + JSON.stringify(list[1]) + "<br>" 
                + JSON.stringify(list[2]);    
              
        function constructTable(selector) { 
              
            // Getting the all column names 
            var cols = Headers(list, selector);   
   
            // Traversing the JSON data 
            for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) { 
                var row = $('<tr/>');    
                for (var colIndex = 0; colIndex < cols.length; colIndex++) 
                { 
                    var val = list[i][cols[colIndex]]; 
                      
                    // If there is any key, which is matching 
                    // with the column name 
                    if (val == null) val = "";   
                        row.append($('<td/>').html(val)); 
                } 
                  
                // Adding each row to the table 
                $(selector).append(row); 
            } 
        } 
          
        function Headers(list, selector) { 
            var columns = []; 
            var header = $('<tr/>'); 
              
            for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) { 
                var row = list[i]; 
                  
                for (var k in row) { 
                    if ($.inArray(k, columns) == -1) { 
                        columns.push(k); 
                          
                        // Creating the header 
                        header.append($('<th/>').html(k)); 
                    } 
                } 
            } 
              
            // Appending the header to the table 
            $(selector).append(header); 
                return columns; 
        }
