ok, so I have this code and it is always making the last cell move down if I add line breaks after the </div> (wrapper) tag.  Why does it do this?  does this make sense?  if not let me know......(this is hard to describe!)

 

 

<?php
session_start(); // Must start session first thing

*/
// Here we run a login check
if (!isset($_SESSION['id'])) { 
   echo 'Please <a href="login.php">log in</a> to access your account';
   exit(); 
}

//Connect to the database through our include 
include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
// Place Session variable 'id' into local variable
$userid = $_SESSION['id'];
// Query member data from the database and ready it for display
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE userid='$userid' LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$name = $row["name"];
$phone = $row["phone"];
$username = $row["username"];
$address = $row["address"];
$city = $row["city"];
$state = $row["state"];
$zip = $row["zip"];
$cell = $row["cell"];
$email = $row["email"];
$accounttype = $row["accounttype"];
$rank = $row["rank"];
$badges = $row["badges"];
$userid = $row["userid"];

}
?>

<?php

I don't believe the code you provided above creates the result of your website.

unless footer-sc.php or footer-ad.php is containing this last table.

 

But just for my interest, is there a reason why your using separate tables and not just 1, and why your not trying to use an external stylesheet.

This whole page is one big code bonanza.

 

What i would do is create a new file and take the logic that fetches the data that will fill those tables and try to get that working first before implementing. Right now you problem is far from isolated, making it even harder for us to solve it. (it's 600+ lines)

so very simple fetch data and put that in 1 table. ones you can do that it should be easy to implement.

what it is, this comes from a template made in dreamweaver.......that why it so long..............and the footer-sc/ad is just a picture inside of a php file.  I know it is something in this code because the table/div is supposed to end before the footer begins.  there is more than one table because there are four different possibility of places for it to go, either to message.php, reply.php, read.php, or read1.php.......So they need to be in more than one table or they never worked.

and the page source makes it look like its fine:

      </tr>

    <tr>
      <td align="left" valign="top" scope="col">        
        </td>
      <td align="left" valign="top" scope="col"></td>
      </tr>
    </table><table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='1200'> 
<tr bgcolor='#CCCC99'><td width='274'><strong>Aaron Searls</strong></td><td width='1025'>
<a href=/message.php?id=61>test</a></td></tr><br />
<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='1200'> 
<tr bgcolor='#CCCC99'><td width='274'><strong>Aaron Searls</strong></td><td width='1025'>

sorry mate i stick to what i said, isolate the problem. make it work (isolated) you already wrote the logic so it should be much easier for you than us to fix this. (connect to database fetch results, run foreach loop and create the table rows on the fly. (and that is html)

I'm guessing that is not the full HTML, but

 

1) You are starting a new TABLE for each row, but you never close out any of them. I count 4 tables being started and never ended.

 

2) You have a break <BR /> outside of a row </TR>, so it is NOT in a cell, it is not valid markup, and is probably screwing up the layout.

 

3) This code snippet is also closing 2 DIVs that were never openned.

 

Clean up the process that generates the main table. If you are still having problems. Request the page in your browser, use the View Source command, copy and paste the HTML here, along with a description of the problem.
