looping through table rows php CSS - php

Question

I am looping through an array of results that I have gathered from the database. There are no problems in regards to displaying the data gained from the database. The problem sits within the styling of the data.
I have some CSS for the code below, it styles the first row of data but the rest are just echoed with no styling although they do look as if they sit within the table that is being defined within the php.
$user = $_SESSION['sess_uid'];
$conn = new mysqli(localhost, root, DBPASS, DBNAME);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM reports WHERE userID = '" . $conn->real_escape_string($user)."';";
// Performs the $sql query on the server
$result=mysqli_query($conn,$sql);
$rows[] = array();
echo '<table>';
echo '<thead>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<th> Report Name </th>';
echo '<th> Category Name </th>';
echo '<th> Sub Category Name </th>';
echo '<th> Date Uploaded </th>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '</thead>';
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
echo '<tbody>';
$rows[] = $row;
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'.$row['reportName'].'</td>'.'<td>'.$row['categoryName'].'</td>'.'<td>'.$row['subcategoryName'].'</td>'.'<td>'.$row['reportDateUploaded'].'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '</tbody>';
echo '</table>';
};
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Answer 1

You need to make your while statement only contain your tr and td elements.

Answer 2

You need to put the tbody and table tags out of your while loop.
echo '<tbody>';
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
$rows[] = $row;
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'.$row['reportName'].'</td>'.'<td>'.$row['categoryName'].'</td>'.'<td>'.$row['subcategoryName'].'</td>'.'<td>'.$row['reportDateUploaded'].'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</tbody>';
echo '</table>';
