Hey guys,

My td width = 378 as you see but I'm getting a few miles long text back from this query. How can I wrap that?

<tr><td bgcolor="#D4D0C8"><strong>References</strong></td>
<td width="378" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><span class="style2"><strong>
<?php 
$result = mysql_query("select refs from userCV where id='$_SESSION[user_id]'");
$var = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$var = $var[0]; 
echo $var; 
?>
</strong></span>
</td></tr>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You can either use PHP: wordwrap - Manual or wrap your text in a <div> and set the style on that element properly.

Thanks so much John!

Problem solved :thumbup1:

just had to insert a line:

$var2 = wordwrap($var, $width=75, $break="<br />", $cut = false);

have a great day

Tabels usualy automaticly wrap text. The problem is you did not spesify a unit of measurement make it 300px instead of just 300 and you won't have to use an extra function.

Thanks zeroradius,

You are totally right. I've changed 300 to 300px.
I don't need to use this wordwrap extra function now.

Cheers,

Have a great day!
