Tournament table

Question

I am trying to create a tournament table using PHP. This is the HTML code sample.

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>1</th>
            <th>2</th>
            <th>final</th>
            <th>winner</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td class="team">team1</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td class="team">team1</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="team">team2</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td class="team">team4</td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="team">team3</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td class="team">team4</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="team">team4</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td class="team">team4 vinner</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="team">team5</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td class="team">team6</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="team">team6</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td class="team">team8</td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="team">team7</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td class="team">team8</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="team">team8</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

I tried creating that table using for loops, but that didn't work very well. Maybe you can give some hints? I am out of ideas.

You want table to look like this? or your result table is like this and you want table to look normal ? — Standej, Nov 27 '15 at 15:19
do you have an array from wich you generate victorious team? — Standej, Nov 27 '15 at 15:23

The elimination system you are working with is called "single elimination" (sometimes "head to head") and the output you wish to achieve is often called "brackets".

Have a look at: Generate a single elimination tournament
and: PHP Single Elimination Tournament Table

This one can be helpful too: Tournament bracket placement algorithm
