Hi Andy,
Your second example would probably be more of a headache than it's worth. You
can save your first example as index.php and only the "<?php...?> is parsed by
the server, so you don't need to use all the echo commands to print the plain
HTML.
One nice feature of PHP is you can mix the HTML and PHP code together, like you
did in your first example. May want to come up with a consistent game plan for
future maintenance purposes though. Some folks like to separate their code a bit
so debugging and trouble-shooting problems is a little easier down the road.
