putting an array into a html table

Question

$result is actually an array which looks like this:

Array ( [book_title] => Bioethics in the 21st Century [id] => 1424 [isbn] => 978-953-307-270-8 [unix_name] => bioethics-in-the-21st-century [visible_online] => 1 )

This is my view(better said...poor attempt of a view ). I'm trying to get an alignment based on the index of the array. Like so: http://pastebin.com/z13PZWe8

<table class="datagrid grid_collapsible" width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" id="webbooks_table">
            <thead>
    <tr class="datagrid_header"
        <td>Book title</td>
        <td>ID</td>
        <td>ISBN</td>
        <td>Is it visible online?</td>
    </tr>
        </thead>

    <tbody>
        <?php foreach($this->basicBwDetails as $result): ?>
        <tr>    
    <td><?=$result;?>  </td>
        </tr>
        <?php endforeach; ?>

    </tbody>



</table>

Thank you for your help!

Are you trying to do this?

<table class="datagrid grid_collapsible" width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" id="webbooks_table">

  <thead>
    <tr class="datagrid_header">
      <td>Book title</td>
      <td>ID</td>
      <td>ISBN</td>
      <td>Is it visible online?</td>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
<?php foreach($this->basicBwDetails as $result): ?>
    <tr>    
      <td><?php echo $result['book_title']; ?></td>
      <td><?php echo $result['id']; ?></td>
      <td><?php echo $result['isbn']; ?></td>
      <td><?php echo ($result['visible_online']) ? 'Yes' : 'No'; ?></td>
    </tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
  </tbody>

</table>

As a side note, <?=$var;?> syntax should be avoided since short_open_tag is disabled in many PHP installations, and this was required to use that syntax until PHP 5.4.0

@DaveRandom - you don't echo on iteration. <?php $result['book_title']; ?> won't show anything.

Depends on how You got the result form database it will be something like this:

<td><?=$result['book_title']?>  </td>
<td><?=$result['id']?>  </td>
<td><?=$result['isbn']?>  </td>
<td><?=$result['visible_online']?>  </td>

Or if You're using doctrine:

<td><?=$result->book_title?>  </td>
<td><?=$result->id?>  </td>
<td><?=$result->isbn?>  </td>
<td><?=$result->visible_online?>  </td>

You should read tutorial, things like that are in it :) http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.db.statement.html
