How do I get info from my database onto a web page the way I want it?

I have been trying to figure this out but I haven't had any success. I am trying to figure out how to get the information from a query to appear on a web page just the way I want it. I know how to call the information up by using something like this:

<HTML>
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("name",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=$id",$db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo "field 1: ".$myrow["fieldone"];
echo "<br>field 2: ".$myrow["fieldtwo"];
echo "<br>field 3: ".$myrow["fieldthree"];
echo "<br>field 4: ".$myrow["fieldfour"];
echo "<br>field 5: ".$myrow["fieldfive"];
?>
</HTML>

But what if I want this information to come up in a formatted page with columns and rows? Something like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<table width="90%" border="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td>fieldone</td>
<td>fieldtwo</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fieldthree</td>
<td>fieldfour</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fieldfive</td>
<td>blah blah blah</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I know this has got to be really really easy, but I can't figure it out.

yes, it is really easy
you have just overlooked the problem.

<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("name",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=$id",$db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<table width="90%" border="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td><?php $myrow["fieldone"]; ?></td>
<td><?php $myrow["fieldtwo"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php $myrow["fieldthree"]; ?></td>
<td><?php $myrow["fieldfour"]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php $myrow["fieldfive"]; ?></td>
<td><?php $myrow["fieldsix"]; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

if you have short tags on you can change it to this
<? $myrow["fieldone"] ?>

hope that helps ya
