Simple table formatting question

Ok, so I have some code that takes the records in my database and outputs them in a table, but currently after the first record it starts spacing them incorrectly

 

Here is the code

<?php
require_once('config.php');
require_once('menu.php');
 
echo '<h1>View All Alien Interactions</h1>';
 
echo '<table>
    <tr>';
foreach($fields AS $label){
    echo "<th>{$label}</th>";
}

echo '<th>Edit</th><th>Delete</th>';
echo '</tr>';

 
$fields_str = '`contact_id`, `'.implode(array_keys($fields), '`, `').'`';
$sql = "SELECT {$fields_str} FROM `alien_abduction`";
 
foreach($dbh->query($sql) as $row) {
    echo '<tr>';

    foreach($fields AS $field=>$value){

        echo '<td>'.(isset($row[$field]) && strlen($row[$field]) ? $row[$field] : '&nbsp'.'</td>');
    }
    echo '</tr>';
    echo '<td><a href="edit.php?contact_id='.$row['contact_id'].'">Edit</a></td>';
    echo '<td><a href="delete.php?contact_id='.$row['contact_id'].'">Delete</a></td>';
    echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
?>

I just want it to start a new line after importing each record

 

This is a picture of what its curently doing, look at the second row, it just keeps adding all additional entries on this line (I whited out personal info)

Remove the closing </tr> tag directly after the foreach loop, this is probably what is causing it.

 

If all you are doing is dumping the data in $row into <td> tags, then you can write while loop as.

while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)
{
  echo '
  <tr>
    <td>' . implode('</td><td>', $row) . '</td>
    <td><a href="edit.php?contact_id='.$row['contact_id'].'">Edit</a></td>
    <td><a href="delete.php?contact_id='.$row['contact_id'].'">Delete</a></td>
   </tr>';
}
