echo <td

I've stuck with how to control the width of a table...

Here is the example :

echo "<table border='4' width =\"50%\" cellspacing='1' cellpadding='6' bordercolor='#7F25FA'>

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo '<td width="1000">' . $row['email'] . '</td>';
echo "<td>" . $row['gender'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

If the email is = [e-mail], I don't want to cut off the address, just let it wrap onto another line.

I thought by changing the '<td width ="200">' would cause the variable to shorten & force it onto the next line?

I also tried to adjust the table border % - to shrink everything,,, no good.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Try adding style=\"word-wrap:break-word;\" in the td. This isn't really a PHP issue, it's more of an HTML/CSS issue.

Thanks Rob.

I was able to use CSS to adjust the table size & think I'd better do more research on the subject.

Most appreciated
