elite311 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to build my own news system with PHP and SQL, I have everything working but I'm completely stuck on one element. I have created a DIV container for the SQL output to show in however the SQL output just goes right through the DIV and doesn't wrap the output. Here is my code: <?php include('config.php'); $db = new Database($db_host, $db_username, $db_password, $db_database, $db_table_prefix); $db -> connect(); $result = $db->fetch_all_array("SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id ASC"); ?> <div id="news"> <?php foreach($result as $option) { ?> <div class="news-heading"><?php echo $option['newshesding'];?></div> <div class="news-text"><?php echo $option['newstext'];?></div> <?php } ?> </div> I have used this code to make it wrap and it does what I want by wraping after 10 characters. <div class="news-text"><?php echo wordwrap($option['newstext'], 100, "\n", true);?></div> However I'm trying to figure out how to do this with the DIV itself, because on a smaller device like my iPhone using the above code doesn't diplay properly as the text runs right to the edge of the screen. My CSS looks like this: #news .news-text{ padding-bottom:15px; white-space:pre; padding-left:5px; padding-top:5px; } If anyone can help I'd appreciate it, thanks.
