Question

I have a mysql table called ‘songs’ that contains 30 fields and I have a ‘song_list.php’ page with the width of 800px. I have already implemented it but its seems too crowded. Is there any way to efficiently (easy to read) display the fields.

Answer 1

use something like to make excessively long titles links smaller & only show whats needed title, date,cat, sml desc,price ect

function _substr($str, $length, $minword = 3){
    $sub = '';
    $len = 0;
    foreach (explode(' ', $str) as $word)
    {
        $part = (($sub != '') ? ' ' : '') . $word;
        $sub .= $part;
        $len += strlen($part);
        if (strlen($word) > $minword && strlen($sub) >= $length)
        {
            break;
        }
    }
    return $sub . (($len < strlen($str)) ? '...' : '');
}
