Table & Image Printing

[Anon]

Using PHP4 on Windows 98.

For some reason when i try to insert an image into a table cell using print, the cell's valign formatting gets ignored. The image appears flush with the top of the cell rather than the bottom. Here's the code:

<td valign="bottom">
<?php

print (" <img src=\"../images/blog/cyberculture_tab.gif\"> ");

?>

</td>

I've tried it the other way (including the <td> tags, but this does not produce the result I need either. Any suggestions?

Sorry for the newbie question....

Sorry, Victor, this is an HTML problem -- whether you're writing the HTML by hand or having PHP print it, if the HTML produced is the same, the result will be the same. Try writing it in HTML first -- then, when you get it to work, drop the working HTML into PHP.

You could try

<td>
<?php

print (" <img align=\"bottom\" src=\"../images/blog/cyberculture_tab.gif\"> ");

?>

</td>

I think its bottom but you might need to use top.

That's exactly the problem. it works just fine in HTML w/no PHP, but if I try it with a print statement, valign gets ignored....

I've been able to make it work if each line gets printed by a different statement:
<?php
print ("<td valign=\"bottom\">");
print ("<img src=\"../images/blog/cyberculture_tab.gif\">");
print ("</td>");
?>

now the question is, why couldn't have a single print statemtent been used? What is it about the nature of the print statement that makes it distort cell formating & img tags but not text?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks,
Victor

Try using echo instead of print.
