Basically I’ve retrieved data from mysql on 1 line and made it look like a table with borders and stuff but I’d want it to repeat for every row on the mysql table. Here’s the following code I’ve used so far:

while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 
 { 
 echo "<table width='1000' cellpadding='10' cellspacing='5' border='1'>"; 

 echo "<tr>


    <td><center><b>".$info['id']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['username']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['kills']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['deaths']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['ratio']."</td></center></b></tr>"; 

 echo "</table>"; 
 }

UPDATE:

 echo "<table width='1000' cellpadding='10' cellspacing='5' border='1'>"; 
 while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 
 { 
 echo "<tr> 
    <td><center><b>".$info['id']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['username']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['kills']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['deaths']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['ratio']."</td></center></b></tr>"; 

 } 
 echo "</table>";

    You want the table tage outside the loop that fetches the rows of data:

    echo "<table width='1000' cellpadding='10' cellspacing='5' border='1'>"; 
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 
{ 
    echo "<tr>
    <td><center><b>".$info['id']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['username']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['kills']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['deaths']."</td></center></b>"."<td><center><b>".$info['ratio']."</td></center></b></tr>"; 
} 
echo "</table>";

    As you are new to PHP I should probably expand this out a little more:

    Your code will now echo out the table opening tag:

    <table width='1000' cellpadding='10' cellspacing='5' border='1'>

    Then go into the while loop and echo out all the rows that it finds:

    <tr><td><center><b>Something1></b></td></tr> // shortened for example.
<tr><td><center><b>Something2></b></td></tr>
<tr><td><center><b>Something3></b></td></tr>
<tr><td><center><b>Something4></b></td></tr>

    Then when it exists the loop, it will output the closing tag for the table:

    </table>

    What you were previously doing was outputting a table for each and every row of data. For future reference, it is a good idea to look into your source code to get an understanding of what is happening.

    Edit: When I was going through your code comment, I formatted it out neater to see what was going on, you might want to make your code easier to read by having the following format:

    echo "<table width='1000' cellpadding='10' cellspacing='5' border='1'>"; 
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 
{ 
    echo "<tr> 
        <td><center><b>".$info['id']."</b></center></td>
        <td><center><b>".$info['user‌​name']."</b></center></td>
        <td><center><b>".$info['kills']."</b></center></td>
        <td><center><b>".$info['deaths']."</b></center></td>
        <td><center><b>".$info['‌​ratio']."</b></center></td>
        </tr>"; 
} 
echo "</table>";
