Just starting out in the world of php, so this is probably a pretty simple problem
I have a simple php script that calls up data from a mysql database and displays it in my webpage. However when it displays the infomation it does so on a white background. The rest of my website has a specific background color. How can i apply this in my php page. I have tried placing the code inside the relevant table tags but it doesn't work.
Any help will be appreciated
Background colour of table.

Background
I am a total novice.
How do I know if I am using CSS.
The relevant code that I am using is produced below.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<pre>
<?php
//convert field values to md5value and escape any quotes.
$Module = ($_POST['Module_Code']);
//open database connection
$connection = mysql_connect ("xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx.xx", "xxxxx", "xxxxxxx");
//select database
mysql_select_db ("ar1?db", $connection) or die ("Failed!");
echo "<Font face =\"Times\" color=\"Black\" size=\"6\"> <br> Comments Left for Module '$Module' <br>";
//Run Query on database
$result = mysql_query("Select * from evaluate2 WHERE Module_Code ='$Module'", $connection);
echo "<Font face =\"Times\" color=\"Black\" size=\"4\"> <br> What are the strong points of this module? <br>";
//loop over each row in the result set
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
//print the values of the attributes
echo "<Font face =\"Times\" color=\"Black\" size=\"3\"> $row[3]<br><br>";
}
?>
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
If you can help me with this It would be appreciated.
I just want the infomation that is called using this script to be placed on top of a background that is being used throughout my webpage which is currently a .gif image.
I'm sure it cant be that hard to sort out.
Thanks
