Yeah, good point. I can see that. What i have been doing is componentising
the page into functions which are responsible for rendering a discrete
section of that page...ie if a page consists of a title bar and a form and
the form gets processed by that same page, which can print a response in
place of the form upon submission...
function renderTitle()
{
echo "<table>";
echo "...";
echo "</table>";
}
function renderForm()
{
echo "<form>";
echo "...";
echo "</form>";
}
function renderFormSubmitResponse()
{
echo "<b>Thankyou!</b>";
}
Then all you have to do is put logic at the front of your code to determine
what 'page components' get rendered. Also, this way you start to build up a
set of common functions, like ones to display query results in a table,
populate a form by creating dynamic Java Script etc etc
Just a thought on the way to do things, thassal, interesting to compare
techniques. It scares me as to how few people seem to worry about form these
days ...
