Changing the output of my HTML form - php

Question

I am trying to create a form using data from MySQL and my current output is not looking as expected so I just need some simple changes to my current form
My current output in the browser: http://gyazo.com/f4668ca59586ec0d4d1500ea6f7b6257
What I am looking to do is
fix the problem with the first column called 'Long Jump A' so its
next to a drop down menu, and you can see the bottom one is next to
nothing.
Secondly, How can I swap the order of the drop down and the
event? So the event is on the left then the drop down is on the
right?
Moving the form down from the top so there is a space
The code:
<?php
require_once 'db/connect.php';
//Query to display all events
if ($event_result = $con->query("SELECT Event.Name FROM event")) {
echo "<form method =\"POST\">";
while ($row = $event_result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo $row['Name'] . ' <br> ';
if ($student_result = $con->query("SELECT Student.Form, Teacher.Form, Student.Forename, Student.Surname, Student_ID " .
"FROM Student, Teacher " .
"WHERE Student.Form = Teacher.Form AND Teacher.Form = 'C'")) {
if ($student_result->num_rows) {
echo "<select name ='Student_ID'>";
while ($row1 = $student_result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<option value ='" . $row1['Student_ID'] . "'>" . $row1['Forename'] . ' ' . $row1['Surname'] . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
}
}
}
echo "</form>";
}
?>

Answer 1

You have an opening <br /> as you echo out the name of the row. This means echo the title, then break before you display the <select> group. You should move that <br /> down right before the closing while loop.
Or just remove the top <Br /> and add it back after the ending so it looks like this:
echo "</select> <br />";
edit: this will fix the last two of your questions, as now each select group will properly line up with the title of the row. If you want more space at the top of the form you have a bunch of options: add more breaks, add a margin or padding, or position the element as relative and use css top property or CSS transforms to move it.
