PHP Table Generator

Just a simple PHP table generator. All the code is in one php file (index.php). This is custom designed to generate tables containing links to pdf files with results from multiple bowling seasons and leagues.

Here's what it does step by step:

1. Echos html code for
2. Counts the league folders ($leagues)
3. Validates league GET variable ($x)
4. Counts the season folders for that league ($seasons)
5. Validates season GET variable ($y)
6. Reads league and season specific variables
7. Echos html code for that also contains a drop-down form to change the displayed bowling season
8. Reads league and season specific variables (yes, again, otherwise the $weeks varialble is wrong)
9. Echos html code for containg links to pdf files
10. Echos html code for drop-down form to change the displayed bowling league
11. Echos html code for

Nomeclature requirements:

1. First league folder must be named "league.1", the second one is "league.2", and so on.
2. Each league folder must include a vars.php file containg three varialbles. For example: <?php $league_name='Wednesday Night Mixed'; $day='Wednesday'; $time='6:30 PM'; $town='Hazlet, NJ';
3. Subfolders for seasons are added to league folders. First season folder must be named "season.1", the second one is "season.2", and so on.
4. Each season folder must include a vars.php file containg three varialbles. For example: <?php $season_name='2015-2016'; $weeks=35; $columns=5;
5. The pdf files are placed in the seasons folders
6. The first pdf file is named "week1of35.pdf", where "1" is the season week number ($week), and "35" is the total number of weeks for that season ($weeks). Second week will be "week2of35.pdf", and so on
7. Upload files and create folders and subfolders using FTP (FileZilla)
