the only problem i foresee is <th>s in your reports already having a
class="something" set, which could mess it up. you'd need to check
that. but in that case you can always pump the original $str to the
DOM, and use multiple $k's from foreach ($arr as $k=>$v) to get to the
corresponding node, and have the original class name.
