Hi All,
I need to display a table in a web page. The data from the table comes from database which I can query using mysql php library. I am looking for a template/example of how to come up with a nice looking table (I am not good at front end design :().
Any link/example/references will be appreciated. Thank you.
Here is an example on how to read a MySQL table into a HTML table. And no, it does not look nice.

<body>
<?
mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pw);
mysql_select_db($db_name);
?>
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT firstname, lastname FROM persons")
OR die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo '<tr><td>' . $row['firstname'] . '</td><td>' . $row['lastname'] . '</td></tr>';
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Assuming your rows are an array of PHP objects...
echo '<table>';
foreach ($rows as $row) {
echo ' <tr>';
echo ' <td>'.$row->column_1.'</td>';
// etc.
echo ' </tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
