Thanks for all of your replies...

For this particular group of scripts I am not using any templating.
I should have been clearer. Guess my question was not about the natures
of CSS\HTML\PHP. I understand those.

Looking for tips on usual way to tightly couple them to my advantage.
PHP is not linked to CSS but they can be tightly coupled. PHP works on
the server side but can also present the client side presentation. In
this presentation I wanted to interlace HTML, CSS and PHP code.

Is this a viable approach? I realize their are no standards in PHP but
their must be more efficient ways, that have floated to the top, to
approach what I am trying to do..? Or is this the right approach?

This maybe a basic html/css issue but when I tightly couple it with PHP
I see questions?

Maybe with this perspective this would be a better way to ask my
questions. :shock:

My sources for documentation has been the W3C Recommendations for HTML
and CSS.
