how can I give blanks between a word and an input?

Question

I have given several spaces between name and input and these blanks are not executed, name and input are still attached.

<?php
$i = 1;
while ($i < 7) {
echo "name <input type=text><br>";
$i++;

}
?>

Answer 1

there are several solutions, here are some of them

1)
<?php
$i = 1;
while ($i < 7) {
echo "name &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp<input type=text><br>";
$i++;

}
?>

you can use html entities to add non-breaking spaces

2)
<?php
$i = 1;
while ($i < 7) {
echo " <pre> name <input type=text><br> </pre>";
$i++;

}
?>

you can put you code in a <pre> tag (pre formated), that will respect the spaces

Answer 2

What about "&nbsp;" ?

<?php
$i = 1;
while ($i < 7) {
echo "name&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=text><br>";
$i++;

}
?>
