ok nevermind i got it figured. thanks

apart from the fact that you figured it out, it's always nice to share the solution so others can be helped also, if they were searching for a solution.

I assume you used,

 

td{text-align:center;} 

 

and if not, i would consider it.

will do. thanks

 

i used this example below. not sure if that's how its done, but it worked for me.

 

"<td bgcolor=#EFECE5 align=center>" . $row{'field'}."</td>";

i was afraid of something like that. apart from the missing quotes around the attribute values, which could cause weird results crossbrowser;

 

the problem with that code is that you make your php more complicated than needed. A good thing to do is to separate concerns (style and logic apart). So separate the css in a different file called a stylesheet. certainly since this is a table cel. can you imagine a table with say 300 cells.

 

you will need to add that align="center" (that's 14 characters times 300,  makes 4200 extra characters) instead of just using

 

td{text-align:center;}

  in a stylesheet
