formating when pulling data from a mysql database

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Ok so Im not to sure if this is the right thread to post in but here is my catch 22 issue.

I have a test web page www.aandstech.com.au/test.php

Test.php pulls its content from a my sql table.
This works fine.

When I pull down the info without
Code: [Select]<pre>code to retrieve data from mysql database</pre>tags I loose all my formating ie carraige returns. However the justify works fine.

When I use my Code: [Select] <pre> tages to retrieve data from mysql database the carrige returns are fine however the text goes right accross the entire page and not within its div.

I have made some headway into resolving this issue by using Code: [Select]<pre width="80"></pre>However this fix looks fine in firefox 3 but has absoultley no effect in ie6 through to 8.0.

Anyway heres a snippet of my code any help would be greatley appreciated.
Code: [Select][color=red]<div class="body">

<p> <?php
$db =mysql_connect("localhost", "******", "*******");
mysql_select_db("*****_*****",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ***** WHERE id = 1",$db);

while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<pre width='80'>";
echo "<font face='Lucida Sans Unicode' size=2>";
echo $myrow["data"];
echo "</font>";
echo "</pre>";

}

?>
</p>

</div>[/color]
Another thing is that Im using css and any text pulled from a table doesn't use the css thats why I had to put the fonts in.
