How can PHP be used to prevent text from breaking in a table cell when retrieved from a database?

When retrieving text from a database to display in a table cell, you can prevent the text from breaking by using the CSS property "white-space: nowrap;" in the table cell's style attribute. This will ensure that the text remains on a single line without breaking.

echo '<td style="white-space: nowrap;">' . $row['text_column'] . '</td>';
