php and mysql

Ok i am having a problem displaying a table on my website. I created a table using phpmyadmin with 3 columns and 3 rows. I am curious how to accomplish this by storing the data in an array and using for loops to display the table, because my brother showed me a while back how to do it this way, but every example I can find shows a different way. Any help would be much appreciated.

[PHP]
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password") or
die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mydb");

$result = mysql_query("SELECT field1,field2,field3 FROM mytable");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
printf("Field1: %s Field2: %s, Field3: %s", $row[0], $row[1], $row[2]);
}

mysql_free_result($result);
?>
[/PHP]

table name " users "
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ----------------------------------------------------
  2. | name      |  age                |            location |
  3. ----------------------------------------------------
  4. | TreeCool | 21                  |           Bandung |
  5. | Lina        | 20                  |          Jakarta    |
  6.  
if this is the table of databases

we can display using " while "

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <?php
  2. $query=mysql_query("select * from users");
  3. while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($query))
  4. {
  5.          echo "$row[name] - $row[age] - $row[[location]";
  6. }
  7. ?>
  8.

  2. $username="username";
  3. $password="password";
  4. $database="your_database";
  5.  
  6. mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
  7. @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
  8. $query="SELECT * FROM tablename";
  9. $result=mysql_query($query);
  10.  
  11. $num=mysql_numrows($result);
  12.  
  13. mysql_close();
  14.  
  15.  
  16. ?>
  17.  
  18. <table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">

  21. <th>Value2</th>
  22. <th>Value3</th>
  23.  
  24. </tr>
  25.  
  26. <?
  27. $i=0;
  28. while ($i < $num) {
  29.  
  30. $field1=mysql_result($result,$i,"field1");
  31. $field2=mysql_result($result,$i,"field2");
  32. $field3=mysql_result($result,$i,"field3");
  33.  
  34. ?>
  35.  
  36. <tr>
  37. <td><? echo $field1; ?></td>
  38. <td><? echo $field2; ?></td>
  39. <td><? echo $field3; ?></td>
  40. </tr>
  41.
