Name. Postcode telephone (button view more ).And the next row will be the same. Hope this it understandable I can't wait for an answer.

Answer 1

For the first part of your question here is how you take data from database with php and show it on the page. Read this Also there are a several way to do that, more example you can find here if you interested...
For second part of your question to show data on specific location on your page, you should't just echo data instead of that place your code in variable something like this:
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
$myTable = "<table><tr><th>ID</th><th>Name</th></tr>";
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$myTable .= "<tr><td>" . $row["id"]. "</td><td>" . $row["firstname"]. " " . $row["lastname"]. "</td></tr>";
}
$myTable .= "</table>";
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
end then in your page i figured out it's organized as larger table just place variable $myTable where you want to be. Something like
<td class="">$myTable</td>
GL!
P.S. note that when you continue string for my table you have .= (dot equal) sign if you miss it it won't work as you expect..
