Best way to display pulled SQL Data!?

[stublackett]

Hi,

 

I've got data pulled from a database, This data is for a news item

 

But my major problem is how do I present this data neatly in HTML ?

 

The code is as follows

<?php 
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $db_table1");
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
              
        {//begin of loop
$title = $myrow['title'];
$description = $myrow['description'];

        //now print the results:          
echo "<h2>$title</h2>";
echo "<p>$description</p>";

// Now print the options to (Read,Edit & Delete the news)
echo "Modifying Options...<br>";		   
echo "<a href=\"edit_news.php?newsid=$myrow[id]\">Edit </a>";
echo "|| <a href=\"delete_news.php?newsid=$myrow[id]\">Delete </a><br><br>";
}//End While loop
         						
?>

 

The $description field seems to go right across the screen, How do I format that so it goes piece by piece?

 

Any help appreciated

 

Cheers

I usally build the html first to get the layout right. Get the html correct. Div tags in the right place etc. Type in some words to see how it will handle content. Use CSS to style etc. Then integrate your php.
