I am trying to echo to the screen a field from MySql which is of type Text.

The problem I am having is that it is not word wrapping. I have tables set up to width="100%", but it is just making the test one line and you have to scroll to see it.

echo ("
<table width=\"100%\" border=\"1\">
  <TR>
    <TD>
      <pre>$body</pre>
    </TD> 	
  </TR>
</table>");

I have also tried using print and printf, but I had a feeling that neither one would help.

I thought html tables automatically word wraps? I know there is a tag for nowrap, but I am not using it.

Here is what the above code source looks like when viewed.

<table width="100 border="1">
  <TR>
    <TD>
      <pre>adf sdf asd f asdf  sdaf  asdf  asdf  sad f sad f asd f asd f as df s adf  sadf  sd f asd f sa df a sdf  sad f asd f sd f  asd f asd f sad f  sad f sd f  sad f s df  sd f s adf  sd f as df  s df  asd f  sad f as df asd</pre>
    </TD> 	
  </TR>
</table>

The "adf sdf asd f" is obvious just bogus data I typed to test it.

To me it looks like it should work? i.e. word wrap. Could there be special characters I am not seeing? Could I have stripped away any characters when i entered the data into the MySql database? Why? Why? Why? Why?

I have also tried without the <pre></pre> tags and it did the same.
