Hi Friends ,

I am new to PHP . I have designed a page and using MySQL at backend .
On my page , I have following logic .
1. There are 4 checkboxes and a search button .
2. On the basis of selection of checkboxes when user clicks search button then results are displayed on the same page in a table . My problem is when user selects only one checkbox , layout of page looks fine but when user selects more than 1 checkbox layout gets disorted , although the no. of records in both cases (single check box and multiple check boxex) are same . Also in the results table at last row , I will put a hyperlink which will export the results to excel . All the data is coming fine in both the cases . Problem is only with the layout when more than one checkbox is selected .

Please help . Pasting my code below :

<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="ds_my_tickets_continue.php">
<table width="88%" align="center" bgcolor="#9CB7AK"> <!-- outermost main table-->
  <tr style="border:1px solid #F00;">

    <?php echo '<a href="login_success.php?user='.$userid.' "><img src="images/home.jpg" width="30" height="21" alt="home" /></a>'; ?><?php echo "Welcome ," .$userid ; ?> <input type="submit" name="logout" id="logout" value="Logout" onclick="form.action = 'logout.php';" />
    </td>
  </tr>
