What are some common logical issues that beginners might encounter when trying to output MySQL data in tabular form using PHP?

One common logical issue beginners might encounter when trying to output MySQL data in tabular form using PHP is not properly iterating through the fetched data to create rows and columns in the table. To solve this issue, you can use a while loop to iterate through the fetched data and echo out the table rows and columns within the loop. 

<?php
// Assuming $result contains the fetched data from MySQL query

echo "<table>";
echo "<tr><th>Column 1</th><th>Column 2</th></tr>";

while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td>" . $row['column1'] . "</td>";
    echo "<td>" . $row['column2'] . "</td>";
    echo "</tr>";
}

echo "</table>";
?>
