I'll qualify that. In programming, the "best way" to build a product is
with the minimal amount of coding, debug, test, and integration. Design
comes first and can be independent of the language you implement with.
It's not a good idea to force the use of Pascal on a bunch of FORTRAN
programmers. We curse the hard datatyping and spend time getting the
upside down code (subroutines come first instead of last) through the
compiler rather than coding.

You comment on embedding php code within HTML is quite valid. That's
really a design and coding standard, like the "Where do paratheses go in
if/then/else blocks" debate. Just don't embed.

Sounds like the problem here is in front of the keyboard--a serious
software error.
