if understood question correctly, answer (although totally avoid using tables layout design , not tabular data):

$myres = "<form action='retrieve.php' method='post'>         <fieldset>             <legend><strong>information</strong></legend>             <table width='auto' border='0' align='center'>                 <tr>                     <th scope='row'>error</th>                     <td align='center'><textarea readonly=readonly name=error cols=75 rows=8>" . $info['error'] . "</textarea></td>                 </tr>                 <tr>                    <th scope='row'>resolution</th>                    <td align='center'><textarea readonly=readonly name=resolution cols=75 rows=8>" . $info['resolution'] . "</textarea></td>                 </tr>                 <tr>                     <th scope='row'>contact/s</th>                     <td align='center'><textarea readonly=readonly name=contacts cols=75 rows=8>" . $info['contacts'] . "</textarea></td>                 </tr>             </table>         </fieldset>     </form>";  echo $myres;
