add a space in a echo statement

[kat35601]

 I want to add a space after $item in the below statement so that there is more  space between the output of Item and Qty.

 

  echo "<tr><td>$Item </td>";

  echo "<td>$Qty</td></tr>";

 

example

 

245-01 1

345-97 17

212-11 3

 

would become

 

245-01   1

345-97   17

212-11   3

 

 

Thanks

As you know you can't have double spaces in html.  I suggest you use css to pad that cell.

Or apply a width to your table columns

While I agree that CSS is the appropriate solution, the statement above is not 100% accurate. You can use non-breaking consecutive spaces and they will all be rendered by the browser. As opposed to normal consecutive spaces that are rendered as a single space.

If you simply just want extra spaces, do this:
 

echo "<tr><td>$Item  </td>";

echo "<td>$Qty</td></tr>";
