Question

Is there a way to get a excel spreadsheet type of format with the things I echo out in PHP, without using a table?

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts"); 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    echo $row['user'] . " " . $row['email'] . " " . $row['age'] . " " . $row['image'] . " " . $row['created_at'];
    echo "<br />";
}

Try using div. set the width as you want.

<?php
mysql_select_db("test",mysql_connect("localhost","root",""));

$result = mysql_query("select * from test");
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
$counter = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    $counter++;
?>
<div style="clear:left; float:left; width:604px;<?php echo $counter == $count ? "border-bottom:1px solid black;" : ""; ?>">
    <div style="float:left; border-left:1px solid black; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; width:200px;"><?php echo $row['fullname'] ?></div>
    <div style="float:left; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; width:200px;"><?php echo $row['email'] ?></div>
    <div style="float:left; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; width:200px;"><?php echo $row['password'] ?></div>
</div>
<?php   
}
?>

This will give you output like this,
