assigning php value with html table?

askjames01

ok, i know this is very easy with coders that had an experience with this before.

<html>
<head>
<title>dynamic width of html table</title>
<head>

<?php
//controlling the width of the table box.
	function control_message_box($width) {
		$custom_width = 400;

?>
		<br><br><br><br><br>
		<div align="center">
		  <center>
		  <table border="1" width="insert dynamic value here!  " bordercolor="#FF00FF" bgcolor="#00FFFF">
			<tr>
			  <td width="100%" align="center">Error message!</td>
			</tr>
		  </table>
		  </center>
		</div>
<?php
		}
control_message_box(0);
?>
</body>
</html>

what i want to do with this is just to make the width of the HTML width flexible
and must mix with PHP codes. so when i change the width value i can change
it dynamically depending of the length of the message.

how can i do this?

thank u very much n advnce.

Couldn't you use something like this:

 <table border="1" width=" <? echo $width; ?> " bordercolor="#FF00FF" bgcolor="#00FFFF">

Weedpacket

<table border="1" width="<?php echo $custom_width?>" bordercolor="#FF00FF" bgcolor="#00FFFF">

What's with the table anyway? You've got a <div>, why not use it to specify the style?
