Question

im making a pdf file using fpdf.. The fdf generated will show data in table form from the database. My problem is, when the data string is too long, it do not fit well in the table cell. Look below in column no 3:
Below is my full code:
<?php
require('fpdf17/fpdf.php');
require('db.php');
//create a FPDF object
$pdf=new FPDF();
$pdf->SetFont('Times','B',20); //set font for the whole page (font family, style, size)
$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,0); //using RGB value
//set up a page
$pdf->AddPage('P'); //potrait orientation
$pdf->SetDisplayMode('default'); //using 100 percent zoom and the viewer's default layout
$icon = "files/icon.png";
$pdf->Cell (10);
$pdf->Cell(60, 60, $pdf->Image($icon, $pdf->GetX(), $pdf->GetY(), 33.78), 0, 0, 'L', false);
$pdf->SetFillColor(0,0,0);
$pdf->SetFont('Times', '', 12);
$pdf->SetXY(10, 30);
$pdf->Cell(10);
$pdf->Cell(30, 6, 'Retrieval Date' , 0, 0, '', 0);
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Kuala_Lumpur"); //set default time zone
$pdf->Cell(30, 6, ': '.date("d/m/Y"), 0, 2, 'B', 0);
//Set x and y position for the main text, reduce font size and write content
$pdf->SetXY(20,40); //setting the position
$pdf->SetFont('Times', 'BU', 14);
$pdf->Write(12,'Absenteeism record for:');
$course_course_code = addslashes( filter_input( INPUT_GET,'course',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING ) );
$data = "SELECT course_code, course_name FROM studentattendance

Change the size of the cell
$pdf->Cell(5, 6, 'No.', 1, 0, 'L', 1);
$pdf->Cell(25, 6, 'Matric no', 1, 0, 'L', 1);
$pdf->Cell(100, 6, 'Name', 1, 0, 'L', 1);
$pdf->Cell(25, 6, 'GROUP', 1, 0, 'L', 1);
$pdf->Cell(30, 6, 'Absenteeism %', 1, 0, 'L', 1);
