Hi David,
This is what the generated html looks like. It's a lot sorry about all the
output:
<html>
<head>
<title>Bob’s Auto Parts - Customer Orders</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Bob’s Auto Parts</h1>
<h2>Customer Orders</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr><th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Order Date</th>
<th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Tires</th>
<th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Oil</th>
<th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Spark Plugs</th>
<th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Total</th>
<th bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Address</th>
<tr><tr>
<td>9:49pm EST Saturday, 01/03/2015</td>
<td align="right">1</td>
<td align="right">2</td>
<td align="right">5</td>
<td align="right">$140.00</td>

</html>
I notice that this is the first entry that looks screwed up:
</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>960 Fairview Dr</td>
<td align="right">0</td>
<td align="right">8753</td>
<td align="right">0</td>
<td align="right">
</td>
Also I opened up the web server so that you can see the original web pages.
Here's the link to this page:
http://php.lyricgem.com/code/vieworders3.php
Here's another page with less formating that shows you the contents of that
file:
http://php.lyricgem.com/code/vieworders.php
At least here all the information in the output makes some sense. Still not
sure from looking at the generated html where the problem lies
unfortunately.
Thanks
Tim
