Question

I have three tables:

Employee(EmployeeID,Fname,Lname…)
ProjectHeader(ProjectID,LeadID,Status….)
ProjectDetails(ProjectDetailsID,ProjectID….)

Here’s my current code:

$get_projects = "SELECT DISTINCT projectheader.ProjectID, projectheader.ProjectName ,projectheader.Lead, projectheader.StartDate, projectheader.EndDate, projectheader.Status, projectheader.Remarks, CONCAT (employee.Firstname, ' ' ,employee.Lastname) AS EmployeeName
FROM employee, projectheader, projectdetails
WHERE projectheader.ProjectID = projectdetails.ProjectID
AND projectheader.Lead = employee.EmployeeID";

$result = mysql_query($get_projects);

$project_id = "";
$project_name = "";
$project_lead = "";
$project_start = "";
$project_end = "";
$project_status = "";
$project_remarks = "";
$table = "";
$table .= "<table border='1'> <th>ProjectID</th>" 
."<th>Project name</th>" 
."<th>Lead</th>" 
."<th>Start</th>" 
."<th>End</th>" 
."<th>Status</th>" 
."<th>Remark</th>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    $project_id = $row['ProjectID'];
    $project_name =  $row['ProjectName'];
    $project_lead = $row['EmployeeName'];
    $project_start = $row['StartDate'];
    $project_end = $row['EndDate'];
    $project_status = $row['Status'];
    $project_remarks = $row['Remarks'];

    $table .= "<tr>";
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_id ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_name ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_lead ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_start ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_end ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_status ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_remarks ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "</tr>";

}
$table .= "</table>";
echo $table;
?>

What I currently have right now is something like this

What I want to have is instead of having each row displayed in one table, each row will have its on table.

Just create a new table inside the while loop, that will create a new table for each SQL result row. Note, that you are also missing tr tags around the table headers (th)

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    $table .= "<table border='1'>"
    ."<tr><th>ProjectID</th>" 
    ."<th>Project name</th>" 
    ."<th>Lead</th>" 
    ."<th>Start</th>" 
    ."<th>End</th>" 
    ."<th>Status</th>" 
    ."<th>Remark</th></tr>";

...

    $table .= "<tr>";
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_id ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_name ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_lead ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_start ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_end ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_status ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "<td>" .$project_remarks ."</td>"; 
    $table .= "</tr>";
    $table .= "</table>";
}

echo $table;
