Everything get very MESSED, if i insert tables :(

Im beginner so i dont know what's wrong, now i spent so far 28 hours on this :(

You need to spend some time learning, time spent trying stuff & failing is still good, as your learning.

 

This is only a rough fix, not ideal by any means, but it'll get you on the move, just keep findling/learning till you get there.

 

Find 2nd & 3rd instance of:

 

$categories['categories_name']

 

replace with:

 

'<table summary="" style="position: absolute;"><tr><td class="boxText">'.$categories['categories_name'].'</td></tr></table>'.(strlen($categories['categories_name']) > 18 ? '<br>' : '')
