I'm trying to write a user friendly web-based interface for viewing an SQL database. What I want the page to do is load up a list of what entries are on there with a load of tickboxes next to them, so the user can click the tickboxes for the entries they want to view, then click a submit button to bring up more details.

I have already got most of the code I need to do this, but I can't figure out how to automatically generate the tickboxes or how to automatically format the data into a table. I know it can be done, because it's basically the same idea as a webmail browser, but I've only been doing jscript and php a couple of days and I don't know the commands.

I'm not necessarily looking for a detailed explanation or source code here, but at the moment I can't find anything on google, so even suggested search terms would be useful.

Thanks
