There’s nothing specific about spaces that would be affected by this widget.
However, note that if you’re outputting into HTML code, extra spaces are ignored. HTML doesn’t have the concept of using tabs or extra whitespace for additional spacing.
In the code below, notice the print statement at the end, where I would like to have multiple spaces or a tab between entries. It strips the space and tabs from the string.
I may recode this to simply show a table instead, but for simplicity, I was just trying to have it tab over to create a space between the PartNumber and it’s price.
This is for an internal website, so the formatting doesn’t have to be anything spectacular.
$connection = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=$srvr;Database=$database",$user, $pass);
$query = "SELECT PP.PartNumber
,PP.Price
,LEFT(REPLACE(REPLACE(PM.Description, CHAR(13), ' '), CHAR(10), ' '),45) as Description
FROM PartPrices PP INNER JOIN PartMaster AS PM ON PM.PartNumber = PP.PartNumber
WHERE PP.PriceCode = 'CTG'
AND PM.SubClass <> 'PART'
ORDER BY PM.Class, PM.SubClass";
$results = odbc_exec($connection, $query);
while(odbc_fetch_row($results)){
$part= odbc_result($results, PartNumber);
$description = odbc_result($results, Description);
$price= number_format(odbc_result($results, price),2);
print "$part \t $description \t $$price<br>";
}
?>
Tabs and spacing don’t work that way in HTML. You need to use a table instead.
