You can handle the HTML-output from within any functions. What I am doing normally is the following. I got one page, let's say main.php When calling this page I pass it a variable that tells main.php which function to execute ("printForm", "submitForm", "changeDB" etc.) This is done by a simple switch-cascade. Now I'm organizing my functions properly in different include-files, let's say "displayFuncs.php", "dbFuncs.php" etc.. And IMHO anything is much more clean and relaxed like this ;) On the other hand, if you connect to a db etc. you only have to write the code for the db_connect only one time (I include this, too). Was this what you wanted to know? Cheers, Kiko ----- It's not a bug, it's a feature. christoph starkmann mailto:kiko@nfq.de http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~kiko ICQ: 100601600 -----
