How to design the data that you gathered from the table - php

Question

I've printed all the data from the database, but my main problem is how to design my data.
I have a table named post_tbl and columns(post_id,post_message,post_date)
this is my query:
$query = "SELECT `post_id`,`post_message` FROM `post_tbl` ORDER BY `post_date`;
This is how I print in php:
if($query_run = mysql_query($query))
{
while($query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_run))
{
$ex_post_id = $query_row['post_id'];
$ex_post_message = $query_row['user_name'];
$ex_post_date= $query_row['post_date'];
echo $ex_post_message;
}
}
how do I make my ex_post_message have a unfirom border and width using html and css? pls help. thanks

Answer 1

if($query_run = mysql_query($query))
{
while($query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_run))
{
$arrMaster[] = $ex_post_message;
}
}
foreach ($arrMaster as $key => $value)
{
if($i==0)
{
$table1.="<tr>";
foreach ($value as $keyc => $valuec)
{
$table1.="<th>".$keyc."</th>";
}
$table1.="</tr>";
$i=1;
}
$table1.="<tr>";
foreach ($value as $keyc => $valuec)
{
$table1.="<td>".$valuec."</td>";
}
$table1.="</tr>";
}
$table1 .= "</table>";
echo $table1;
at this way you can add any style to your table or any class

Answer 2

Yes you can echo HTML element like:
echo "<div class='classname1'>" . $ex_post_message . "</div>";
Then the class classname1 should handle the design. Like the following:
<style>
.classname1{
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
border: 1px solid blackl
}
</style>
There are many ways to achieve this. The one that I've provided is just an example.
