I would break it into several questions. This layout will be virtually unusable on all device except those with extremely large screen widths.

What do you mean by aligning them together? If you do that you will have the same usability issues.

I don't know how else to say this. If you put everything in one array it will be unusable.

Thanks for your prompt response. What is the best way to go about this. the array will have the same subquestions (y-axis) eg. case1,case2,case3 etc.

As tpartner said: Split it.
My question is:
What for is this?
I can't imagine that this is a survey
How can anybody enter the numbers into your array without knowing which codes to enter for education, employment status, nationality,...?
What you show us is a paper-pencil sheet where you need an additional code frame.
In my opinion you should design a survey with the 25 questions.
As I understood the y-axis is only a increment number.
So you may start a new survey by end-url after one row is completed.
Additionally this will be easier to analyse.
You have all answers to one question in the same column.
And it will avoid the column limitation of MySQL.
You may read in the manual about it.
With MyISAM tables you will only be able to create about 1550 coulumns. (InnoDB only 1000)
And your design (60x25) is quite near at this limit (consider some management overhead)
