I am using this following code to display my members list on my website, this works as an example:

The issue with this is it displays the information really rough and horrible looking. I haven't inserted it into my website design yet. I was hoping to get the information rendered in a neat table used on my website, here is a standard code for that empty table:
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
#
</th>
<th>
First Name
</th>
<th>
Last Name
</th>
<th>
Username
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
1
</td>
<td>
Mark
</td>
<td>
Otto
</td>
<td>
@mdo
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
2
</td>
<td>
Jacob
</td>
<td>
Thornton
</td>
<td>
@fat
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
3
</td>
<td>
Larry
</td>
<td>
the Bird
</td>
<td>
@twitter
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
How could I get the information from the top code to show in the neat table? Obviously the code would have to automatically add new rows and collums once a new user signs up or whatever so not really sure how to do this? And I'm pretty new to PHP and MYSQL so if you could provide details that would be amazing! Thankyou!
