RE: [PHP] mixing HTML and PHP code

I think you missed something: <? connect_to_database(); parse_query(); execute_query(); ?> <TABLE> <? while (fetch_row_from_query()){ $output = data_from_fetched_row(); $more_output = more_data_from_fetched_row();?> <TR> <TD><?echo $output?></TD> <TD><?echo $more_output?></TD> </TR> <?}?> </TABLE> tell me that's not easier on your eyes :) Another nice thing about doing it this way is you can work with a web designer who uses a visual tool like dreamweaver.
