How the conversion works

Paste your HTML Table on the left and press Convert. The tool first parses the HTML Table (reading the first

element and using its th cells as column names) into an internal table of rows and columns, then writes it out as PHP Array (emitting short [...] syntax wrapped in a return statement). If the input cannot be parsed you get a plain-English error instead of a broken file.

Where this comes in handy

People reach for this converter when reusing tables copied from web pages or documentation and the data must be consumed by PHP code. Because everything runs locally in your browser, it is also handy for quick one-off migrations without installing database tools or writing throwaway scripts.

HTML Table to PHP FAQs

What happens to merged cells with colspan or rowspan?
Merged cells are read as the plain text of each td or th in row order. The spanned layout is not reconstructed, so check that the column count looks right.
Can I paste a table copied from a website?
Yes, as long as you paste the actual HTML source with its <table> tags. A rich-text paste without markup will not be detected.
How do I use the output in my project?
Save it as a .php file and load it with $data = include 'file.php'; in your code.
What PHP syntax is used?
Modern short array syntax [...] with 'key' => value pairs, wrapped in <?php return [...]; so you can include the file directly.
Is there a size limit?
No hard limit, but very large pastes (tens of megabytes) can slow down the browser tab. For huge inputs, split them into smaller chunks.
