I'll just on the template bandwagon, I use smarty. (http://smarty.php.net) Rolf Brusletto phpExamples.net John W. Holmes wrote:

I have an option box on a webpage and have around 10 options on it and have run into a doubt, which is more efficient to do: 1. <option value="1"<?php if($th_order==1){echo " SELECTED"; } ?>>Something1</option> <option value="2"<?php if($th_order==2){echo " SELECTED"; } ?>>Something2</option> (or) 2. instead of having the <?php and ?> mixed in the HTML is it better to echo/print the whole lines?

Use a template engine to separate your presentation from your logic. :)
