mike12255 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Im trying to place text under a topic title, just part of the post as a short desciprtion with the following code: $getthreads="SELECT * from forumtutorial_posts where parentid='0' AND `area`= 'math' order by lastrepliedto DESC"; $getthreads2=mysql_query($getthreads) or die("Could not get threads"); while($getthreads3=mysql_fetch_array($getthreads2)) { $getthreads3[title]=strip_tags($getthreads3[title]); $getthreads3[author]=strip_tags($getthreads3[author]); $name = strip_tags($getthreads3[post]); if (strlen($name) > 20){ while (strlen($name) >6){ $name = substr($name,0,-1); } } print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='message.php?id=$getthreads3[postid]'>$getthreads3[title]</a></td><td>$getthreads3[author]</td><td>$getthreads3[numreplies]</td><td> <b>$getthreads3[lastposter]</b></tr></br> $name </td>"; } print "</table>"; ?> Problem is i keep playing with this code and they text either ends up at the top of above all the topic titles, or they appear under the right topic title but are alinged right and i cant seem to fix it. Any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
