display array parsed from ini as html table?

Question

I'm trying to create a table of info about mods in a pack for a game server, I can parse the INI but can't figure out how to place it into an html table properly. the ini is:

[industrialcraft]
name = IndustrialCraft²
dev = Alblaka
website = http://www.industrial-craft.net
wiki = industrialcraft
[buildcraft]
name = BuildCraft
dev = SirSengir
website = http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/
wiki = buildcraft

I'm trying to get it into columns for the dev,website,etc. with headers at the top (name section doesn't need the header). and the wiki one is going to link to domain.com/wiki/bunchofstuff?id=insert_here I want it to look sort of like this:

                |   Dev   |         Official Website        |   Wiki Page
IndustrialCraft | Alblaka | http://www.industrial-craft.net | wiki link

I can manage the layout myself, but I figured I should specify in case it affects how it needs to be coded. I've been trying to figure it out myself but I'm still a bit of a noob with php..

@conceptdeluxe Yes, but thanks. I can parse the ini, I should have specified I need help getting it into a table. edited my question. — Branden Patey

@conceptdeluxe that does help, thanks, but I still need to get the data from the parsed INI. I tried echoing and printing $ini_array[industrialcraft] with no luck :/ — Branden Patey

Was that really hard?

<?php
  $datas  = parse_ini_file( $ini_file, true );
?>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
  <tbody>
    <?php
      foreach( $datas as $data ) {
    ?>
    <tr>
      <td rowspan="2"><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $data["name"] ); ?></td>
      <td>Dev</td>
      <td>Official Website</td>
      <td>Wiki Page</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $data["dev"] ); ?></td>
      <td><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $data["website"] ); ?></td>
      <td>
        <a href="http://domain.com/wiki/bunchofstuff?id=<?php echo urlencode( $data["wiki"] ); ?>">wiki link</a>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <?php
      }
    ?>
  </tbody>
</table>
