Real World Example:

//id: integer, max width 10

//code: string max width 2

$records =$mysqli->query("SELECT id, code from country");

$divider=printf("+%-10s+%-13s+",'-','-');

$lines[]=$divider;

$lines[]=printf("|%10s|%13s|",'id','countryCode');

//header

$lines[]=$divider;

while($line=$records->fetch_assoc()) {

//store the formatted output
   

$lines[]=printf("| %10u | %2.2s |", $line['id'],$line['code']);

}
$table=implode("\n",$lines);
echo

$table;

Output:
