While it's true that '.' concatenates and ',' is a list separator, The
comma is actually more appropriate in this instance since you are just
outputting each piece.  It saves the overhead of concatenation before
output.

6: " vs '
when you use " php will parse the enclosed string for variables, when
you use ' it won't; so ' leads for faster code, and also encourages
you to code strongly by closing strings and concatenating variables.
Further it allows you to use valid html " around attributes rather
than the invalid '

7: , vs .
there is no vs :) to concatenate we use . (period) not , (comma)

so for 6 & 7..
echo '<td>' . $i['servername'] . '</td>';

I'm going to stop there, hope it helps a little bit; and I won't go
any further as half the fun is learning; so you finding out how to
save time on queries and write your own db handlers etc is not my
domain I reckons
