SirChick Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I have a while loop that im trying to echo infomation horizontally rather than downwards. Downwards is pretty easy cos i just use </br> but i want to space the echo's out horizontally by X amount yet i cant use div's cos then they will be the same height rather than the second row of the while loop being below it.. this is what i tried: $Getcars = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cars WHERE UserID='{$_SESSION['Current_User']}'") or die(mysql_error()); // Fetch the row from the database if(mysql_num_rows($Getcars) != 0){ echo'<div id="bv_" style="position:absolute;left:50px;top:450px;width:450px;height:22px;z-index:1" align="left">'; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($Getcars)) { $CarName = $row['CarName']; $FuelLeft = $row['FuelLeft']; Echo'<font style="font-size:14px" color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial"><b>';echo$CarName; Echo' ';Echo$FuelLeft; As you can see above i put a Echo' '; of open space but on the page it still comes up right next to car name like: Car Name Fuel Left Nissan 100 I need it to be like : Car Name Fuel Left Nissan 100 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/75698-solved-help-with-while-loop-echo-positions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagecrawler Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 html automatically shrinks a line of whitespace down to only one space. You need to do this: <?php Echo' ';Echo$FuelLeft; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/75698-solved-help-with-while-loop-echo-positions/#findComment-383046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagecrawler Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 is the html code for a non-breaking space. Normally HTML will truncate spaces in your text. If you write 10 spaces in your text HTML will remove 9 of them. To add spaces to your text' date=' use the character entity.[/quote'] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/75698-solved-help-with-while-loop-echo-positions/#findComment-383052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
