Because, you are messing php and html code

$arr = array("Apple","orange","strawberry");
$abc = '<table border="2">
            <tr>
                <th>Names</th>
            </tr>';
            foreach($arr as $key){
            $abc.='<tr>
                <td>'.$key.'</td>
            </tr>';
        }
        $abc.='</table>';

echo $abc;

You have miss placed the foreach. It is a code block and you have placed it inside the quotes, which will be treated as text. Check the below code.

<?php
    $arr = array("Apple","orange","strawberry");
    $abc = '<table border="2"><tr><th>Names</th></tr>';
    foreach($arr as $key){
        $abc .= '<tr><td>'.$key.'</td></tr>';
    }
    $abc .= '</table>';
    echo $abc;
?>

foreach loop inside variable
