You have no structure associated with your application design: what are you doing making a connection to a database on the same page you spit out the results from? You should be including a wrapper file, and calling a function which talks to the database. Also, all of that logic should be in a file that is separate from the markup _anyway_ > <? > connect_to_database(); > parse_query(); > execute_query(); > ?> > <TABLE> > <? while (fetch_row_from_query()) : ?> > > <? $output = data_from_fetched_row(); > $more_output = more_data_from_fetched_row(); ?> > > > <TR><TD><?=$output?></TD><TD><?=$more_output?></TD></TR> > > <? endwhile; ?> > </TABLE> <table> <? function html_table_row($output, $more_output) { ?> <tr> <td valign="middle" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><?=$output?></td> <td valign="middle" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><?=$more_output?></td> </tr> <? } ?> </table> > > > I _personally_ prefer the upper implementation, as all my web developing team > (that is, only me :-) know both PHP and HTML and don't > like the code to be *plagued* of <? ?> <? ?> <? ?> as in above example.
