PHP/mySql is very new to me and I know very little if anything about writing my own code, I had a project which required some php/mysql work and I hired someone to do it..

The person in question left the job incomplete and basically won't contact me anymore, so I am left trying to figure out the remaining things myself..

So I'm out a bunch of money, and my site that should have launched a month and a half ago still sits idle..

What I need fixed I'm sure is totally easy for someone with experience... but being very green I can't seem to figure it out..

If anyone is willing to help I can sticky you the code I have..

My 1st problem:

Users fill in a form with certain information while registering, I have a page where this user info details are displayed, my problem is the page cell It's to be displayed in is about 600px, and when the text is pulled from the database and displayed, it doesn't wrap into the cell, it doesn't break at all, scrolls to the right outside of the pagecell and obviously this distorts the whole page.

I'm not sure what I have to modify to get this to display properly...Ive tried wrap="virtual" and wrap="physical" in the form...and in the display page I have <? echo $row['rowname'];?> for the displays....

Another similar problem I have, when the user logs in they come to a page displaying their current 'widgets' and some info about them in a table, for some reason the table shows up much further down the page after a bunch of whitespace (when they have 1 widget). I can't figure out why, it should just display at the top of the page...

If the user has 2 or more widgets, they are all getting displayed in the same table instead of one after another, so this causes them to be displayed horizontally and distorts the page much like the first problem I have...

I'm sure this is simple modification but everything I've tried has done nothing to fix it...

There are a couple other similar but a little different problems on top of that, but If I could fix these 2 I could atleast have a working site ready to launch.
If anyone could lend a hand it would be very much appreciated.

actualy these don't sound like database problems as much as CSS. Look up some info on CSS and you could probably figure some of them out.
