Convert arbitrary data objects to HTML tables
<?php
/**
* Render arbitrary nested PHP variables into readable HTML. toHtmlTable()
* accepts an arbitrary variable of any of the following forms:
* - objects are first cast to associative arrays and then rendered as such.
* - arrays are rendered as a table with two columns: keys and values.
* - primitive data types are cast to strings
*
* Example usage:
* $data = json_decode(file_get_contents('/foo/bar.json'));
* $html = toHtml($data);
* file_put_contents('/foo/bar.html', $html);
*
* @param mixed $data
* @return string
* An HTML document
