            <th>
                Name
            </th>
            <th>
                Age
            </th>
            <th>
                Sex
            </th>
        <tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Bob</td>
            <td>35</td>
            <td>Male</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Mary</td>
            <td>92</td>
            <td>Female</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Chairman P. Meow</td>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>Male</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
<table>

All we do is:

<?php
require 'Table.php';
$table = new Table();
$table->addAttribute('summary', 'A sample table used to show what Table view helper can do.');
$table->addCaption('My sample table');
$row1 = $table->addGroup('thead')->addRow();
$row1->addHeadingCell('Name');
$row1->addHeadingCell('Age');
$row1->addHeadingCell('Sex');
$tbody->addGroup('tbody');
$row2 = $tbody->addRow();
$row2->addDataCell('Bob');
$row2->addDataCell('35');
$row2->addDataCell('Male');
$row3 = $tbody->addRow();
$row3->addDataCell('Mary');
$row3->addDataCell('92');
$row3->addDataCell('Female');
$row4 = $tbody->addRow();
$row4->addDataCell('Chairman P. Meow');
$row4->addDataCell('2');
$row4->addDataCell('Male');
print $table->display();
