New to PHP and very confused...

Yep agree with table/thead/tr/td etc, makes it much clearer.
BUT, some browsers do strange things if you line-wrap <td> tags:

<td>
Content
</td>

MAY not be the same as:

<td>Content</td>

so watch out!

Are you kidding me? Damned browsers!
What kind of behavior can it cause? And do you know on which browsers?

Edit: I can't really avoid line-wrap anyway when I have hundreds of lines of code inside one...

 

[mattura]

It can cause gaps/whitespace. I'm not sure of the exact browsers, but I believe netscape navigator and some versions of IE. Anyone fancy testing this?

You don't need to avoid line wrap altogether, just next to the <td> tags. And with php you can put any amount of white space anywhere:

echo "<td>";
echo "content";
echo "</td>";

and

<td><?php
echo "content";
?></td>

both still give: <td>content</td>

Okay, I see your point.
I just don't understand why Netscape is still around though...

EXCELLENT! Thanks so much for the examples. I'll try out the suggestions next week...
