I'm trying to make a page that once someone logs in, they can view the contents of the database that is associated with them in a clear, concise and organized way. Currently, I just have PHP echoing HTML and variables to make the page. i.e. I did what I knew would work.
I am new to everything programming and have done Javascript DOM manipulation so I can't see this echo thing can't being the right.
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['First_Name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Last_Name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Employee_No'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Job_No'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Job_Name'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
I know that technically, this will work, but I am just looking for basic information on how to do this properly, preferably in an easy to understand format.

I found this, it looks like it is potentially what I need, but I am not experienced enough to know and it's not the most beginner friendly documentation.
