Development Php/Mysql query problem (displaying sql results in a fixed width environment)

-edit

please delete, got it sorted.

 

it would have being interesting to see what the original problem was and how you fixed it.

 

Upon retrieving data from a MySQL db, and lumping it into a HTML table - the width of the table would increase to wider than I specified in the table tag. (eg <table border="0" width="500">

To fix this, I used the php wordwrap function to add breaks into the mysql entries when entering data into the database

Was for a portfolio site that I decided to do with html/php.. had to be handed in as an assignment last friday, which means I can't edit it any further until it's been completely marked.

Kind of annoying, because it's seriously sloppy work, needs a bunch of editing/css adjustments/content added. Ah well.. fingers crossed I'll get lucky with the marks, and the lecturer doesn't pick up on how messy the includes are.
