Can someone help me, how to code the logic to print the data from my database into a <table>? 

<table border="1">
    <tr>
     <th>Firstname</th>
     <th>Lastname</th>
     <th>Points</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <?php
        global $wpdb;
        $result = $wpdb->get_results ( "SELECT * FROM myTable" );
        foreach ( $result as $print )   {
            echo '<td>' $print->firstname.'</td>';
            }
      ?>
    </tr>               
</table>

  1. Try this: 

    <table border="1">
<tr>
 <th>Firstname</th>
 <th>Lastname</th>
 <th>Points</th>
</tr>
  <?php
    global $wpdb;
    $result = $wpdb->get_results ( "SELECT * FROM myTable" );
    foreach ( $result as $print )   {
    ?>
    <tr>
    <td><?php echo $print->firstname;?></td>
    </tr>
        <?php }
  ?>

  2. You’re missing . in echo '<td>' $print->firstname.'</td>';

    Try this

    <?php
  global $wpdb;
  $result = $wpdb->get_results ( "SELECT * FROM myTable" );
    foreach ( $result as $print )   {

      echo '<tr>';
      echo '<td>' . $print->firstname.'</td>';
      echo '<td>' . $print->lastname.'</td>';
      echo '<td>' . $print->points.'</td>';
      echo '</tr>';
  }
?>

  3. Try this:

    $result = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM myTable" , ARRAY_A); //get result as associative array

    Then the usual cycle:

    //spare memory
$count = count($result);
//fastest way to perform the cycle
for ($i = $count; $i--;) {
   echo '<td>'. $print[$i]['firstname'].'</td>';
}

  4. You just need to put <tr> inside your foreach loop, and add . concatenation operator in your line, you need also try this :

    • You need to wrap <td></td> inside <tr></tr> in foreach loop

    • You need to add . concatenation operator in line that contains firstname variable.

    • If you have duplicate values, then add this parameter ARRAY_A to your query

      $result = $wpdb->get_results ( "SELECT * FROM myTable",ARRAY_A );.

       <table border="1">
     <tr>
      <th>Firstname</th>
      <th>Lastname</th>
      <th>Points</th>
     </tr>

       <?php
         global $wpdb;
         $result = $wpdb->get_results ( "SELECT * FROM myTable" );
         foreach ( $result as $print )   {
           echo '<tr>';
           echo '<td>' . $print->firstname .'</td>';
                   echo '<td>' . $print->lastname  .'</td>';
                   echo '<td>' . $print->points    .'</td>';
           echo '</tr>';
             }
       ?>
