Table view cell expand or contract with the size of the text

Question

I have been populating a UITable view cell with the data fetched from a database. The length of the data varies for different cells. So i need to expand or Contract the height depend the data length. Presently i am using a custom cell with the following code.

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *cellID= @"customcell4fan";
    customcell4fan *cell = (customcell4fan *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID];

    if(cell==nil)
    {
        NSArray *nibObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"customcell4fan" owner:nil options:nil];

        for(id currentObject in nibObjects)
        {
            if([currentObject isKindOfClass: [customcell4fan class]])
            {
                cell = (customcell4fan *)currentObject;
            }

        }
    }

eleme = [xmlElementObjects objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];

NSString *email= [eleme.title stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@" \n\t"]];
    NSString *postData= [eleme.description stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@" \n\t"]];
cell.nameLabel.text=email;
    cell.postLabel.text=postData;

  return cell;

}
