Modifying column width in displayed table columns

[msmysql]

The data in the column is shorter than expected so I need to adjust the column widths. I am editing an existing code that I did not create so where do I need edit to shorten the widths? I have not created a table with columns in php so I am not certain what I should change.

There are certain attributes for the <table> tags that are called "width". You'll want to look for those in your code if you've already got it hammered out. If the values are hard coded (e.g. width="100" or something), you can set them to a percentage if you'd like (e.g. width="15%"). Check out w3schools site. They'll have more information about basic HTML attributes need for table sizing.
