iterating through a mysql table

[eluser]bhbutter123[/eluser]
I understand how to do the queries in the models but how would I do the following in the view(I am assuming that is where I would do it.)

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo"$row";
}

how would i go ahead and do that because I assume that the model is only to get the database's table data and not to display it at all.
