php code needed in displaying the datas frm db in a new line

[bindiya]

I hav a php page which takes data from the db.But the problem i am facing is for a particular fild in database ,i have long data,which i need to b displayed in a wordwrap way

 

eg my data is " Description      need a site for school    gave order on 12-10-2010    work started on 12-10-2010  "

this shuld  be displayed as

"Description      need a site for school

                        gave order on 12-10-2010

                        work started on 12-10-2010"

 

Description is the field in the database and rest of them are the datas in it

What is your php code that you're using to get that data from your db and print it?

$sql = "select * from product where reference_no = '".$reference_no."'";

    $sqlquery = mysql_query($sql);

    $sql_project_fetch_array =mysql_fetch_array($sqlquery);

echo "<table><tr>

  <td class="tableCellOne"> </td>

<td class="tableCellOne">Description</td>

<td class="tableCellOne">

<?php echo str_replace("<p>"," ",$sql_project_fetch_array['description']); ?></td>

</tr>

You need to print more table rows.

 

echo "<table><tr>
  <td class="tableCellOne"> </td></tr>
<tr><td class="tableCellOne">Description</td></tr>
<tr><td class="tableCellOne">
<?php echo str_replace("<p>"," ",$sql_project_fetch_array['description']); ?></td>
</tr>

i didnt understand what u were explaining

Well you are printing one row(<tr> </tr>), and then 3 cells (<td> </td>). This means they're all aligned horizontally on the same line.

You want to print your data in a new cell, that's on a new row. I added <tr> </tr> tags to fix this.

 

You will get the format of

"Description      need a site for school

                        gave order on 12-10-2010

                        work started on 12-10-2010"

Using this code.

understood ur code.but some doubt ,suppose there are more lines of description for some id(another field,a primary key).Then how will i use this code?

eg

 

id                          description (no of rows)

1                        4 rows are there

2                        1  row only

3                        8 rows

 

[denno020]

echo "<table>
<tr><td>id</td> <td class="tableCellOne">Description</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td> <td class="tableCellOne">4 rows are there</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td> <td class="tableCellOne">1 row only</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td> <td class="tableCellOne">8 rows</td></tr>
</table>"

 

You'll notice that now there is two sets of <td> </td> between each <tr> </tr> tag. This means 2 cells on one row.

 

I just did a google search for online HTML table generator. Look at this link and it will generate the code you need for a X column by Y rows.
