I have managed to print my first set of results from my database.  The last two columns, profit and balance are obviously numbers, and I'd like these two columsn only aligned to the right, so that the decimal points are in a uniform place.

 

<?php  
        // Connects to your Database  
        mysql_connect("host", "database", "password") or die(mysql_error());  
        mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error());  
        $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE ref='2007-1' ORDER BY 'stable','date'")  
        or die(mysql_error());  

        Print "<table cellpadding=2 width=100%>";  
        while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))  
        {  
        Print "<tr>";  
        Print "<td>".$info['stable'] . 

        "</td> ";  
        Print "<td>".$info['date'] . "</td> ";  
        Print "<td>".$info['time'] . "</td> ";  
        Print "<td>".$info['track'] . " </td>"; 
        Print "<td>".$info['horse'] . " </td>";  
        Print "<td>".$info['price'] . "</td> ";  
        Print "<td>".$info['win'] . "</td> ";  
        Print "<td align="right">".$info['profit'] . " </td>"; 
        Print "<td>".$info['balance'] . " </td></tr>";  
        }  
        Print "</table>";  
        ?>   

 

Thos returns the following error message: http://www.further-flight.co.uk/napsters/results.php

 

How can I achieve this effect?

Yes you uses MadTechie's suggestion above also don't for get to align the balance to the right as well:

Change

Print "<td>".$info['balance'] . " </td></tr>";  

to:

Print '<td align="right">'.$info['balance'] . " </td></tr>";  

I prefer the css route...

.algnrght
{
text-align: right;
}

 

<?php
        print "<td class="algnrght">".$info['profit'] . " </td>"; 
        print "<td class="algnrght">".$info['balance'] . " </td></tr>";  
?>

 

You should also make sure that the decimal places are correctly displayed! - just in case its .00

 

<?php
        print "<td class="algnrght">". number_format($info['profit'],2,'.',',') . " </td>"; 
        print "<td class="algnrght">". number_format($info['balance'],2,'.',',') . " </td></tr>";  
?>
