I cleaned up the code a little bit, but I would first initialize the
variables before the for loop. You are adding data to them without
ensuring they are empty first. Try this:

unset($name, $imagename, $description);
for ($i = 0;$i< 5; $i++) {
$j++;
$name .= '<td style="padding-bottom:
3px;">'.$array_category_name[$i].'</td>';
$imagename .= '<td><img
src="images/'.$array_category_image_name[$i] . '" width="74"
height="59"></td>';
$description .= '<td>'. $array_category_description[$i] . '</td>';
}
echo '<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">';
echo "<tr align=\"center\">$name</tr>";
echo "<br>";
echo "<tr align=\"center\">$imagename</tr>";
echo "<tr align=\"center\">$description</tr>";
echo "<tr align=\"center\"><td collspan='3' </td></tr>";
echo "</table>";

Also, what is the point of $j?
