Have you tried using the <nobr> tag along with the <pre> tag? The <nobr> tag
will not allow the text to wrap. You can use it outside the <pre> tags and
see what you come up with. It sounds simple, but it may provide you with the
solution that you need.

Subject: [PHP] text wrap in table
Hi,
I am creating a program for a newspaper to publish their article
online. There is a form what allows them to cut and past from their
editors (word, pagemaker, staroffice). The data is being entered
correctly.
The problem is when I try and get the data from the table the whole matter
scrolls off the screen. I need it to be formatted as the client cut and
pastes it (headings, paras, etc). Below is my table and part of my
program.
mysql> desc newsarticles;
+----------+--------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+
| id | int(5) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| nid | int(5) | | MUL | 0 | |
| headline | varchar(100) | | | | |
| article | mediumtext | | | | |
| date | date | | | 0000-00-00 | |
| imgpath | varchar(200) | YES | | NULL | |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+
<html>
<head>
<title><? echo $row->headline; ?></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<h1 align="center"><? echo $row->headline; ?></h1>
<h3 align="center"><? echo $row->description; ?></h3>
<table width="600" border="1">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="70%"><font
face="Arial" size="2" color="blue"><strong><? echo $sd ."-". $sm
."-". $sy; ?></strong><br><pre><? echo $row->article; ?></pre></font></td>
<td valign="top" width="30%"><img src="<? echo
$row->imgpath; ?>" <? echo $iwh[3]; ?> ></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I use the <pre></pre> to display with the line breaks. If I take of the
<pre> it does not wrap but does not give the breaks. To my thinking maybe
while entering the data we should give break the lines physically. This
is part of my entry form.
<tr>
<td><font face="Arial" size="2">HeadLine</font></td>
<td><input type="text" name="headline" size="30">
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font face="Arial" size="2">Article</font></td>
<td><textarea name="article" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font face="Arial" size="2">Upload Image</font></td>
<td><input type="file" name="userfile" size="30" wrap=ON></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
How do I get the text not to wrap and to preserve the formatting given by
the client.
