How can i stop a php while loop repeating over and over?

I have a polymer(1.0) app i am trying to create (based on stretch-tutorials league table), i cant figure out the routing if use mvc, so i have opted for the one page site, referencing different php files.

I Have a table in MYSql that i trying to incorporate into the table, using a simple echo table script, but this repeats itself hundreds of times. How can i stop this loop ?

$result = mysql_query('select * from results',$connection) or die('cannot show tables');
while($tableName = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {

$sql = ('SELECT `home_team_name`,`away_team_name`,`home_goals_for`, `away_goals_for`, DATE_FORMAT(`fixture_date`, "%e %M %Y"), TIME_FORMAT(`fixture_time`, "%h:%i %p") FROM `results` ORDER BY fixture_date desc LIMIT 20  '.$table) or die('cannot show columns from '.$table);

echo '<h3>',$table,'</h3>';
$result2 = mysql_query($sql);
if(mysql_num_rows($result2)) {
    echo '<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="table table-striped table-hover table-bordered">';
    echo '<tr class="info"><th>Home team</th><th>Away Team</th><th>Score</th><th>Score</th><th>Date<th>Time</th></tr>';
    while($row2 = mysql_fetch_row($result2)) {
        echo '<tr>';
        foreach($row2 as $key=>$value)  {
            echo '<td>',$value,'</td>';
        }
        echo '</tr>';
    }
    echo '</table><br />';
}
  }

I have added ' < 50 ' but this returns 50 table header rows only ?

the site is live at http://jay-o.uk/#!/results the css and other data are okay for now, just this pesky loop.

Well.. maybe you need this code:

// Create an array
$items = array();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($resulting, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
    /* print new insert */
    var_dump('new item');

    /* add a new item */
    $items[] = array(
        'home_team_name' => $row['home_team_name'],
        'away_team_name' => $row['away_team_name'],
        'home_goals_for' => $row['home_goals_for'],
        'away_goals_for' => $row['away_goals_for']
    );
}

$json_response = json_encode($items);
print $json_response;

If $json_response are a empty array maybe the problem is that the query don't return any row.
