There's many ways you can achieve that, I'd suggest reading through this tutorial, or picking up a good book on the PHP language. With a little time, it's easy to pick up the basics.

Thanks I do know some basic PHP and i have made this task, justmore simple, without the csv file, but this is a little more advanced for me :)

<style> table { font-family: arial, sans-serif; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; }

td, th {
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
</style>

As of PHP 8.0, you can set the length to 0 (or null, or omit it entirely) for the fgetcsv() function if you don't want to limit the maximum line length.
