First consider how you want the data to be presented in html, then the php code will be very simple. From what I see and how I would prefer to set the layout would be something like this: Date Name Course Unit Aug 30 2003 Gloria WRT 102 Fall 03 Essay 1 Q1 data for q1 Q2 data for q2 ... Then easily put that into a html table structure: <tr> <td>Date</td><td>Name</td><td>Course</td><td>Unit</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Aug 30 2003</td><td>Gloria </td><td>WRT 102 Fall 03</td><td>Essay 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Q1</td><td colspan="3">data for q1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Q2</td><td colspan="3">data for q2</td> <tr> ... Now inside your fetch_array loop just use that template above using php variables instead of text and table column attributes in the appropriate places will result in a decent looking site.
