blank space in “table 1” part when repeating and only print the “table 2” columns

i want to include all “table 2” in “table 1” result but with no repeating the info of the “table “1 columns instead put blank space and continue printing the “table 2” columns.
is there a way to do it?

Change output:

$last_ticket_id = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
    if ($last_ticket_id == $row[1]) { $print_data = false; } else { $print_data = true; }
    for ($j = 0; $j < 39; $j++) {
        // not understand this but i leav
        if ($j <= 25) { $csv_output .= $row[$j]. " ,"; }
        // check is leav empty or not
        if (!$print_data && in_array($j, array(0,1,2,3,4)) ) {
            $csv_output .= " ,";
        } else {
            $csv_output .= $row[$j]. " ,";
        }
    }
    $csv_output .= "\n";
    $last_ticket_id = $row[1];
}
