how to have a vertical header and textarea - html

Question

i have a code...server side and cant seem to make it load wherein HEADER would be vertical, i have tried the code below,
<?php
require 'include/DB_Open.php';
$ea_name = $_POST['ea_name'];
$sql="SELECT * FROM ea_error WHERE ea_name = '" . $ea_name . "'";
$myData = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
//to count if there are any results
$numrow = mysql_num_rows($myData) ;
if($numrow == 0)
{
echo "No results found.";
}
else
{
echo '<fieldset><legend><strong>Information</strong></legend>
<table width="auto" border="0" align="center">
<tr><th scope="row">Error</th></tr>
<tr><th scope="row">Resolution</th></tr>
<tr><th scope="row">Contact/s</th></tr>';
while($info = mysql_fetch_array($myData))
{
echo "<form action='retrieve.php' method='post'>";
echo "<td align='center'>" . "<textarea readonly=readonly name=error cols=75 rows=8> " . $info['error'] . "</textarea></td>";
echo "<td align='center'>" . "<textarea readonly=readonly name=resolution cols=75 rows=8> " . $info['resolution'] . "</textarea></td>";
echo "<td align='center'>" . "<textarea readonly=readonly name=contacts cols=75 rows=8> " . $info['contacts'] . "</textarea></td>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</table>";
}
}
echo "</fieldset>";
include 'include/DB_Close.php';

If I understood the question correctly, this could be an answer (although I would TOTALLY avoid using tables for layout design and not just tabular data):
$myRes = "<form action='retrieve.php' method='post'>
<fieldset>
<legend><strong>Information</strong></legend>
<table width='auto' border='0' align='center'>
<tr>
<th scope='row'>Error</th>
<td align='center'><textarea readonly=readonly name=error cols=75 rows=8>" . $info['error'] . "</textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope='row'>Resolution</th>
<td align='center'><textarea readonly=readonly name=resolution cols=75 rows=8>" . $info['resolution'] . "</textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope='row'>Contact/s</th>
<td align='center'><textarea readonly=readonly name=contacts cols=75 rows=8>" . $info['contacts'] . "</textarea></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</form>";
echo $myRes;
