So a string is being entered from a database into a paragraph, when the paragraph has spaces the paragraph breaks perfectly but if the string has a word longer than the line it goes off the page as shown below, how can i make it go the the next line instead of off the page?
here is my php and html code:
<div id = "comment">
<?php
echo "<div style = 'border-bottom-style: solid;border-bottom-width:1px;'><p class = 'word'>" . $issue . "</p>";
echo "<p class = 'word info'>" . $author . ' ' . $date . "</p></div>";
$sql2 = "select * from Ticket_Message where Ticket_Main_id = '$MainId'";
$query2 = mysqli_query($con,$sql2);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query2)){
$message = $row['message'];
$auth = $row['auth'];
$date = $row['date'];
echo "<div style = 'border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px;'>";
echo "<p class = 'word'>" . $message . "</p>";
echo "<p class = 'word info'>" . $auth . ' ' . $date . "</p>";
echo "</div>";
}
?>
</div>
and here is my css attempt to fix it :
p{max-width: 250px;}
basically what i need am trying to do is use css to prevent all paragraphs from extending off the page when the string is longer than the width of the page.
