Re: mixing HTML and PHP code

uh, while I agree that including your html is definitely the way to go, you _must_ mix php with html to a certain extent, assuming you're actually doing anything interesting like talking to a database. if you're _only_ including files (i.e. using php as a replacement for SSI) I guess that would work. but, so long as the php code is _extremely_ light, and the logic is stored elsewhere, sounds good to me :) definitely avoid print() and echo like the _plague_ for html output. -alex -- Alex Black, Head Monkey enigma@turingstudio.com The Turing Studio, Inc. http://www.turingstudio.com vox+510.666.0074 fax+510.666.0093 Saul Zaentz Film Center 2600 Tenth St Suite 433 Berkeley, CA 94710-2522 > From: ivansanchez@wanadoo.es ("MR") > Newsgroups: php.general > Date: 10 Jan 2001 15:46:51 -0800 > Subject: RE: [PHP] mixing HTML and PHP code > > Brian Clark ... >> >> Hello Alexander, >> >> (AW == "Alexander Wagner") wagner@globalpark.de writes: >> >>>> Mmmmppppfff... ultraedit's wordlist file still lacks the color of >>>> allaire's homesite - it does detect which parts of the .php file >>>> are HTML and what parts of the file are PHP code, and colours >>>> syntax very well... >> >> AW> Who needs that?
