Issue the query with mysql_query() and check for an error. If there's an error, display mysql_error() or do your own error handling. From there, you'll count the number of fields returned by mysql_num_fields(). Loop through with mysql_field_name() to create your "header" row. The "header" text will match whatever the name of the column was. Then loop through mysql_fetch_row() to get all of the rows returned from the query. You already know how many fields there are, so just loop through the result of mysql_fetch_row() that many times and put each element in it's own <td> tag. That's pretty much it. ---John W. Holmes...
