Question

This is my current php script to show table standings I keep getting errors on my page when I try to add colspan=”2″ to stretch the header

 $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `standings` WHERE division = 1 ORDER BY TotalPoints DESC;") 
 or die(mysql_error()); 
 Print "<table border cellpadding=10 width=500>"; 
 Print "<tr><th colspan="2">CONLEY</th></tr>";
  Print "<tr><th>Team Members</th><th>Points</th></tr>"; 
 while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 
 { 

 Print " <td>".$info['TeamMembers'] . "</td> ";
 Print " <td>".$info['TotalPoints'] . "</td> </tr>";

 } 
 Print "</table>"; 

Answer 1

You probably need to escape you quotation-marks, otherwise they will break the string and cause an error:

Print "<tr><th colspan=\"2\">CONLEY</th></tr>";
