Input form widening output table.

[skalie]

Edit: It's OK I sorted it, see my reply post.

Howdy,

I'm having a hell of a time trying to sort this one, maybe because it's a hard one to define in search engines, anyway, here goes........

I'm hand coding a guestbook, trying to brush up on my php / mysql.

Problem is that if someone wants to post a message like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" that is 800 pixels wide in the input form, the table in the guestbook output widens to match the breath of the input.

Using the $input = nl2br($input) technique doesn't seem to help.

Anyone know the fix for this one?

Thanks in advance.

Found the solution, on this forum, I had to type "table width" into the search engine.....

$row[$a+4] = ereg_replace("([^ \/]{15})","\1<wbr>",$row[$a+4]);

..........weaved the magic.

Why is it that only after one has registered for a forum then posted a thread that one can sort out one's problem.

Murphy's law?
