Dealing with whitespace

[Massacres]

Using my knowledge of C/C++ (which is basic) I came up with this, I don't know a way to deal with the whole "We don't want whitespace so we WILL NOT LET YOU HAVE white space", 'thing'. I think it was for bandwidth, some programmers wouldn't get rid of whitespace and it would send useless bits; I want those 'useless' bits. (Sorry my history is a little sketchy).

[code]<?php
for ($i=1; $i<101;$i++){
      echo $i," ";
      if ($i % 5 === 0) {
            echo "<br>";
            }
      else{
            if ($i<10){
                  echo " ";
                  }
            }
      }
?>[/code]

Basically I WANT the whitespace so I can make everything even; without tables.

Try using [code]"&nbsp;"[/code] instead of [code]" "[/code]

That is the HTML code to force a space.

EDIT: it didn't work; see the bottem.

Ideal situation; the underscores removed and replaced with spaces.

[code]<?php
for ($i=1; $i<101;$i++){
      if ($i<10){
            echo "_";
            }
      echo "_",$i;
      if ($i % 5 === 0) {
            echo "<br>";
            }
      else{
            echo "_";
            }
      }
?>[/code]






Code that didn't work T_T
[code]<?php
for ($i=1; $i<101;$i++){
      if ($i<10){
            echo "&nbsp;";
            }
      echo "&nbsp;",$i;
      if ($i % 5 === 0) {
            echo "<br>";
            }
      else{
            echo "&nbsp;";
            }
      }
?>[/code]

EDIT It works now haha, wow I'm blind sorry.

[code]<?php
for ($i=1; $i<101;$i++){
      if ($i<10){
            echo "&nbsp;","&nbsp;";
            }
      echo $i;
      if ($i % 5 === 0) {
            echo "<br>";
            }
      else{
            echo "&nbsp;";
            }
      }
?>[/code]

You will find that if you are trying to align the output using spaces things will usually not align well unless you are using a fixed width font. You're best bet is to learn how to use CSS to define your layout.
