Text wont go were I want it

[mike12255]

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??

try this:

$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 "<div style="position:static; float:bottom;" <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></div>";

?>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/schoolw1/public_html/math.php on line 162
