Would you care to be a little more specific? The width of what column is increasing? And why is this a problem? HTML tables will fit to the largest width by default.

Hi,
What exactly you want? Just display all the fields of table in the html table? You wont bother about the width rather you should give border="0" in the table. for eg:- if you have two fields as Name,Age in "person" table, then

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
   // made database connections in php
  //$sql=mysql_query("select * from person");
   <form>
   <table border="0">
    <tr>
    <td>Name</td><td>Age</td>
     <?
     while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql))
     {
     ?>
      <td> <? echo $row['Name'];?></td>
      <td><?echo $row['Age'];?></td>
     <?
         }
     ?>
    </table>
   </form>
   // made database connections in php
  //$sql=mysql_query("select * from person");
   <form>
   <table border="0">
    <tr>
    <td>Name</td><td>Age</td>
     <?
     while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql))
     {
     ?>
      <td> <? echo $row['Name'];?></td>
      <td><?echo $row['Age'];?></td>
     <?
         }
     ?>
    </table>
   </form>

It automatically displays all Name and Age in person.
