So?  Use some formatting in your output of the data.  You began a table and defined all the headings but then you didn't output any columns to correspond to those headings.  Do you have an html resource that you use?  Then use it to learn how an html table is built.

Assuming "ref" in your database corresponds to the checkbox, this line...

 echo '<td><input type="checkbox" name="check_list[]" value="'. $row[1]. $row[2].        $row[3].$row[4].$row[5].$row[6].$row[7].$row[8].$row[9].'"></td>';

should be...

 echo '<td><input type="checkbox" name="check_list[]" value="'. $row[0].'"></td>';

That being said, why have the mini-loop to display columns?  Typically, you just want the row loop and echo each column independently (at least that is how I do it  I also usually use associated or object outputs from the DB so need to use the name).
