ciao.

ecco il mio caso, se ti interessa:

<div align="left">
<table border="1" width="50%" height="20%" bordercolor="#E9E9E9">
<tr>
<td width="10%" height="20" align="left" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#E9E9E9"><font face="Arial" size="2">id:</font> </td>
<td width="70%" height="20" align="left" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#E9E9E9"><font face="Arial" size="2">giocatore:</font></td>
<td width="20%" height="20" align="left" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#E9E9E9"><font face="Arial" size="2">ruolo:</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>


<?php

$check = mysql_query ("select * tab ")
or die (mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($check))
{
$id = $row ['id'];
$nome = $row ['giocatore'];
$ruolo = $row ['ruolo'];


echo "<div align=\"left\">
<table border=\"1\" width=\"50%\" height=\"20%\" bordercolor=\"#E9E9E9\">
<tr>


<td width=\"10%\" height=\"20\" align=\"left\" bordercolor=\"#FFFFFF\" bgcolor=\"#E9E9E9\">
<font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">$id </font></td>
<td width=\"70%\" height=\"20\" align=\"left\" bordercolor=\"#FFFFFF\" bgcolor=\"#E9E9E9\">
<font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">$nome </font></td>
<td width=\"20%\" height=\"20\" align=\"left\" bordercolor=\"#FFFFFF\" bgcolor=\"#E9E9E9\">
<font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">$ruolo </font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div> ";


}

?>
