PHP Code:[Highlight]

\[table=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/table\]

<table style="border: 1px solid; border-collapse:collapse;" width="90%" align="center"><tr><th colspan=2 align="center">$1</th></tr>$2</table> 


PHP Code:[Highlight]

\[row=(.*?),(.*?)\](.*?),(.*?)\[/row\]

<tr style="vertical-align: top">
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;" align="center"><div style="background:#c0c0c0; padding-bottom:4px; margin-bottom:8px;">$1</div>$3</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;" align="center"><div style="background:#c0c0c0; padding-bottom:4px; margin-bottom:8px;">$2</div>$4</td>
<tr> 


Then in your post you only have to write :

PHP Code:[Highlight]

[table=table header]
[row=left sub-header,right sub-header]left content,right content[/row]
[row=left sub-header,right sub-header]left content,right content[/row]
[row=left sub-header,right sub-header]left content,right content[/row]
[row=left sub-header,right sub-header]left content,right content[/row]
[/table] 


You can use 2 different row Mycodes for odd/even row colors or add a fifth parameter for the color.

But would I be able to specify how many rows I want to show on one page? This information will be displayed on a single php page - not a post. Is a search field also possible? I thought a MYSQL database had to be used to retrieve this information.

A very similar table was designed for Wordpress under the name "WP-Tables Reloaded".
