</tr>
<?php
}

but it will display a vertical style, what html tag will i use, i also use the <span> but i cant display it correctly

Answer 1

In that case much better to wrap output of row in a function. Smth like the following:

function showRow($row) {
?>
<tr>
    <td><img src="<?php echo $row['path']?>"></td>
    <td><?php echo $row['name'] ?></td>
</tr>
<?
}

And then:

<table>
<?
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("select * from "))){
    showRow($row);
}
?>
</table>
