Your best option is to use the Pear Package Console_Table ( http://pear.php.net/package/Console_Table/ ).

To use - on a console you need to install the pear package, running:

pear install Console_Table

this should download the package and install. You can then use a sample script such as:

require_once 'Console/Table.php';

$tbl = new Console_Table();
$tbl->setHeaders(
    array('Language', 'Year')
);
$tbl->addRow(array('PHP', 1994));
$tbl->addRow(array('C',   1970));
$tbl->addRow(array('C++', 1983));

echo $tbl->getTable();
