Arranging The Output In Right Format

my echo code of some function gives the output like ..

date4.php04 May 06
dirtest4.php04 May 06

it is not in good display format..File names are fine but i want to arrange the position of the date.. for example i want to that date of all the outputs will be at the same position like

date4.php 04 May 06
dirtest4.php 04 May 06

can some one help me in correcting the format..


code is:

echo "<td><a href=\"". $dir_name . $thisName . "\"></td>". $thisName . "</a><td >$thisTime </td><br />\n";

Here's a generic example, have a look here at for different table properties.

group each new column in a <td></td> and all columns in a <tr></tr> and the whole thing in a <table></table>

 

echo "<table cellspacing =20>";for($i=0; $i<100; $i++){echo "<tr><td><a href=".chr(34)."test.com/;;}echo "</table>";
