As some of you who helped with my "No input file selected" query earlieralready know, I've just started a new job and am new to PHP.
 
 All the webpages are PHP, but contain HTML as a string definition. Which is
 actually nice and easy for me as I am an HTML specialist, but am a complete
 newbie with PHP.
 
 How inadvisable is it though?
 
 Here's what I mean:
 
 <?php
 
 define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Shipping');
 
 define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Shipping');
 
 define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '
 
 
 <table width="90%" border="0" cellpadding="5" height="339">
 <tr>
 <td
 width="20%"> </td>
 <td width="51%">
 <p><font
 size="7" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Don\t know if this
 is a good idea</b></font>    ..........etc
 ........
 
 Basically - any HTML can go here, as long as it\'s within a table, and
 apostrophes are preceded by a backslash - as I have done above with the word
 "it\'s"
 
 
 </table>
 
 ');
 ?>
 
 
 Basically, it's just HTML that is copied and pasted into a
 define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '   string    '
 
 Which is why it ends
 ');
 ?>
 
 
 What are the perils that could face me by continuing to write pages in this
 fashion?  Could it cause accessibility problems on some browsers?
 
 I know it's terribly lazy but I have an awful lot of work to do and not
 enough time just yet to learn good PHP skills.
