Chances are this is not a PHP problem at all. Is an HTML bug in your
display.
I've done this so many times..incomplete table rows, odd format commands
that confuse the browser.
If you have firefox, set the error console on and load the page. Grosser
errors will show up in that, also 'view page source' will confirm if the
PHP is spitting them out in the correct order.
No magic fixes. Just tedious poring over output and tag matching..
