[html] Vertical align in bootstrap table

I am trying to display a table with 4 columns, one of which is an image. Below is the snapshot:-

I want to vertically align the text to the center position, but somehow the css doesn't seem to work. I have used the bootstrap responsive tables. I want to know why my code doesn't work and whats is the correct method to make it work.

following is the code for the table

CSS

img {
    height: 150px;
    width: 200px;
}
th, td {
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

HTML

<table id="news" class="table table-striped table-responsive">
    <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Name</th>
          <th>Email</th>
          <th>Phone</th>
          <th>Photo</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <?php
        $i=0;
        foreach ($result as $row) 
        { ?>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <?php echo 'Lorem Ispum'; ?>
            </td>
            <td>
                <?php echo '[email protected]'; ?>
            </td>
            <td>
                <?php echo '9999999999'; ?>
            </td>
            <td>
                <?php echo '<img src="'.  base_url('files/images/test.jpg').'">'; ?>
            </td>
        </tr>

        <?php
        }
        ?>           
    </tbody>
</table>

For me <td class="align-middle" >${element.imie}</td> works. I'm using Bootstrap v4.0.0-beta .

Try:

.table thead th{
   vertical-align:middle;
}

As of Bootstrap 4 this is now much easier using the included utilities instead of custom CSS. You simply have to add the class align-middle to the td-element:

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td class="align-baseline">baseline</td>
      <td class="align-top">top</td>
      <td class="align-middle">middle</td>
      <td class="align-bottom">bottom</td>
      <td class="align-text-top">text-top</td>
      <td class="align-text-bottom">text-bottom</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

The following appears to work:

table td {
  vertical-align: middle !important;
}

You can apply to a specific table as well like so:

#some_table td {
  vertical-align: middle !important;
}

vetrical-align: middle did not work for me for some reason (and it was being applied). I used this:

table.vertical-align > tbody > tr > td {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

SCSS

.table-vcenter {
    td,
    th {
        vertical-align: middle;
    }
}

use

<table class="table table-vcenter">
