[NeverMind]

would it be better to echo the table this way or is there a better way ?

echo "<table width='100%' background='image.jpg'><tr><td><p>Text or results from php</p></td></tr></table>";

this is good but using single quote is faster ..
you can simply use multilines without any problems since php ignores spaces..

PHP Code:

echo '<table width="100%" background="image.jpg">

  <tr>

    <td><p>Text or results from php</p>

    </td>

  </tr>

</table>';
