Selecting data from sql to create a thumbnail - php

Question

I'm creating a thumbnail with a title, image and caption on it. I'm trying to select data from my table to show it into my homepage. Can someone help me to create a normal thumbnail in my php that contains the detail from my sql. I tried to search and can't find how to create a thumbnail using php and not html.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM news";
if($result = mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th>id</th>";
echo "<th>first_name</th>";
echo "<th>last_name</th>";
echo "<th>email</th>";
echo "</tr>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['id'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['title'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['image'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['caption'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
// Free result set
mysqli_free_result($result);
} else{
echo "No records matching your query were found.";
}
} else{
echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($link);
}
In short, is there a way to create a php file from this?
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="thumbnail">
<img alt="Memory" img src="../../images/a2.jpg">
<div class="caption">
<h3><b>
Title
</b></h3>
<p>
Caption Caption Caption Caption Caption
</p>
<p align="right">
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="news2.html">Read More</a>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

Do you want to replace your table structure with that template structure? You'll need to adjust some of the data to fill the hyperlink (I don't know how you want to build that).
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<div class=\"col-md-4\">";
echo "<div class=\"thumbnail\">";
echo "<img alt=\"Memory\" src=\"../../images/{$row["image"]}\">";
echo "<div class=\"caption\">";
echo "<h3>{$row["title"]}</h3>";
echo "<p>{$row["caption"]}</p>";
echo "<p align=\"right\">";
echo "<a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"news2.html\">Read More</a>";
echo "</p>";
echo "</div>";
echo "</div>";
echo "</div>";
}
