twilitegxa Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I don't think I have set anything that should make them not line up, but they don't for some reason. Can anyone help me with why?

Fruct0se Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The problem is not actually php. Try setting some fixed widths for your tables, so everywhere you have <td> change it set the width you want: <td width="200"> This will fix the width of each cell, right now your table is only going to be the size of whatever is inside it.

play_ Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 This is an HTML question. You should try to have the HTML ready before embedding into PHP. Create a new html page, create and line up the tables the way you want, then once you have it how you want, embed it into PHP. That should help you tons Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170202-solved-tables-not-lining-up/#findComment-897928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
infiniteacuity Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 You should also set the tables to the same width. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170202-solved-tables-not-lining-up/#findComment-898068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

roopurt18 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Instead of creating a bunch of tables, why not create just one table with more rows? Obligatory remark about not using tables for layout.

twilitegxa Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I did originally, but if the table contained no records, then the table got a little broken up.

twilitegxa Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 It's okay, I adjusted the width of the tables, and I left the tables, and just duplicated the table information with the table headers when the "no records" part displayed because I wanted those to line up with the other tables. There are four tables, and sometimes there will be records displayed from them and sometimes not, so I need it all to line up regardless. Here's the way I did it: <?php session_start(); //Access Tracking Snippet //set up static variables $page_title = "listcharacters.php"; $user_agent = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"); $date_accessed = date("Y-m-d");

mysql_query($sql,$conn); ?> <?php //connect to server and select database $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("smrpg", $conn) or die(mysql_error()); //gather the scouts $get_topics = "select id, identity, date_format(create_time, '%b %e %Y at %r') as fmt_scout_create_time, username, available from scouts where available = '0' order by create_time desc";
