How can I freeze the header of Table?

Put it in the freezer!

Not really sure what you're asking - what do you mean by "freeze" the header? And are we talking database tables or (X)HTML tables?

I've a table and the data is coming from DB.

I want that when page is scrolled down, the header of the table should be visible.

This isnt a php problem, its a layup problem.

Your solution will depend on how you currently layup your data on the page, if your doing it correctly with <div></div> you could just put your headings in a seperate div above the div for your data, then make your data div scrollable.

Exactly.

If I use this technique then there might be some alignment problem. i.e.

I have a table with data from DB. header of the table contains the the names of the columns. if cells of lower table expands due to large data, the clls in header won't expand and alignment problem can occure.

Do u have any solution for this?

You could use CSS instead for your table layout.

You can define the width of the div cell, any overspill can wrap on a newline within the div, not breaking your layout.

I imagine you would have to define its position as absolute using CSS. However, what its absolute position is would have to be determined. You could calculate the distance between the top of the page and the top of the table row, but that's a hack, not real code.
