Personally, I'd create a function that returns a string that displays the
head, body, etc, so I can write
<?
echo html ( head( title ( "title text" ) ) .
body ( "Your name is $name" ) );
?>
I detest the messy embedding of php in html, it makes stuff almost
impossible to debug.
But then that's my point of view, and I am/was a C programmer and fan of
Dijkstra at heart. I always read what Mladen posts, but he disagrees
completely with me on this.
So there you have it (:
