Answer 1

If you're using PDO, which is a better approach:
echo "<table>";
$sql = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM YOUR_TABLE");
while($row = $sql->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo "
<tr>
<td>". $row['quantity'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['unit'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['details'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['issued_date'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['returned'] ."</td>
</tr>
";
}
echo "</table>";
Or if you're mysql_ functions, which are deprecated:
echo "<table>";
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM YOUR_TABLE");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql))
{
echo "
<tr>
<td>". $row['quantity'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['unit'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['details'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['issued_date'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['returned'] ."</td>
</tr>
";
}
echo "/<table>";

Answer 2

In addition to the above answer, you can also use mysqli. Here's an example:
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
while ($row = $result->fetch_object()){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row->quantity . "</td>"
...etc...
}
