PHP: Table Class

After some playing with PHP, I wanted to create a new class but I didn’t really know what. So after some time I founded a nice task to do 
. So here is my “Table Class”. It’s a easy way to create a HTML table from a PHP array.
The code:
<?php
class Table {
function __construct() {
$this->output = "<table>\r";
}
function addSingleRow($arr) {
if(is_array($arr)){
$output = "\t<tr>\r";
foreach($arr as $item) {
$output .= "\t\t<td>" . $item . "</td>\r";
}
$this->output .= $output . "\t</tr>\r";
} else {
$this->output .= "\t<tr>\r\t\t<td>" . $arr . "</td>\r\t</tr>\r";
}
}
function addMultiRow($arr) {
foreach($arr as $item) {
if(is_array($item)){
$output = "\t<tr>\r";
foreach($item as $sItem) {
$output .= "\t\t<td>" . $sItem . "</td>\r";
}
$this->output .= $output . "\t</tr>\r";
} else {
$this->output .= "\t<tr>\r\t\t<td>" . $item . "</td>\r\t</tr>\r";
}
}
}
function render() {
echo $this->output . "</table>";
}
}
?>
Usage:
<?php
require("Table.class.php"); // Get the class (the name may be different)
$table = new Table; // Load the Table Class
$table->addSingleRow("1 row"); // Adds 1 row and column
$table->addSingleRow(Array("First column", "Second column"); // Adds 1 row and 2 columns
$table->addMultiRow(Array("First row", "Second row")); // Adds 2 rows with 1 column
$table->addMultiRow(Array(Array("First row and column", "second column"), Array(Array("Second row and first column", "second column"); // Adds 2 rows and 2 columns
echo $table->render(); // Output everything
?>
This is a very simple Table Class because you can’t define attributes like title, class, id, etc. But you are free to use and to change off course .
. But here is the result:
