Re: Segmented Code/HTML VS. ECHO??

I _hate_ echo'n out big batches of HTML, so I never do it. I prefer to include HTML, or have a class or function write HTML. However, printing in heredoc style is very handy ... more so than sliced bread. For example: <?php $color = "#FFCC00"; $name = "Yogi"; print <<<EOF <font color="${color}">The bear is ${name}.</font> <!-- this can be as much plain HTML intermixed with PHP variables as you like --> EOF; print( date() ); ?> PHP code, followed by plain HTML (I put in some PHP variables, but they aren't necessary) (without a bunch of echo/print calls, or having to escape quotes), followed by more PHP ... wash, rinse, repeat as much as necessary ... you get the picture. It works out rather nicely. $0.02 ~Chris /"\ \ / September 11, 2001 X We Are All New Yorkers / \ rm -rf /bin/laden On Sun, 18 Nov 2001, Brad Melendy wrote: > Hello, > Other than the fact that sometimes, you just can't get raw HTML to process > properly by dropping out of PHP code, what are the pros and cons of using > RAW HTML or just ECHOING everything in PHP?
