    	<tr id="tab1">
    		<th>Name</th>
    		<th>Status</th>
    	</tr>
    </table>
</body>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#tab1").append('<?php
	        $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","oatdistribution");
	        $tabsql = "SELECT Name, Status from jan"; 
	        $data = mysqli_query($con,$tabsql);
	        while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($data)){
	        	echo "<tr>";
	       		echo "<td>" . $row['Name']."</td>";
	        	echo "<td>" . $row['Status']."</td>";
	        	echo "</tr>";
	        }
	    ?>');
});
</script>
</html>

Output:

             John       Delivered
             Richard    Delivered
Name Status  Sam        Delivered
             Allan      Not Delivered
             Michelle   Not Delivered

What I have tried:

I am trying to get the data to be in the table without the piece of code being in the tr tag but the output seems be side by side with the title "Name" and "Status"

How do I go about that?

You are appending to the element with ID tab1, which is the header <tr> element.

If you want to append to the <table> element, move the ID to that element:

HTML

<table id="tab1">
    <tr>
        ...
