> What is the best method for creating a Web Page that uses both > PHP and HTML ? There are a number of different ways of doing this, and I think your choice really depends on how you would like to do it. My personal favourite is not to include any HTML at all and just create PHP variables that contain my HTML. Then at teh end of teh document I just use echo $output; This wouldn't work so well in cases where you want to flush the output back to the user as the script is being processed, but for short scripts this works well for me.

The biggest thing to strike me here for this example, was that you use '<?php' for the initial instance, yet '<?' for the second. One of the biggest parts of coding, is style and consistency =) Regards, Ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0 iQA/AwUBPwAPTmfqtj251CDhEQIE+QCglmHcOaBbjDscnB2gULebsd 4WfKcAoOWb nW4s8jv0O0sEQzefYhiVYfpp =hglr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ian.H [Design & Development] digiServ Network - Web solutions www.digiserv.net | irc.digiserv.net | forum.digiserv.net Programming, Web design, development & hosting. | ||

Another point: It Depends. If you control the server, that's One Thing. How-some-ever, on one server site where I `manipulate` some web pages, .phtml and/or .shtml do not work for embedded <$php tags. I have no recourse but to bundle each target page up in a .php.

However, if it were only a few, then you could do: <? $variable = "value"; ?> <html><head></head><body> <b><?= $variable ?></b> </body></html> -- Regards, Zach Nakaska | ||

If > you take this a step further you can include the html to allow > alternative languages / representations. My PHP "style" has evolved over a couple of years and it's taken on this form with all the algorithm stuff at the top of the page before the <head>. I then just drop in small bits of PHP in the HTML. Using PHP to echo complex HTML is painful as you end up escaping all the " and having 50 lines of $html .= "" is time consuming and the layout is more fixed. If you stick to HTML you can still edit the layout with Dreamweaver and I even use PHP to show/hide blocks of HTML, i.e <? if ($displaythis) { ?> <table ... .... <td><?=$message?></td> </table> <? } else { ?> <table ... .... <td><?=$message?></td> </table> <? } ?> This makes the whole process so much easier and seems to be the best balance of HTML editability (with Dreamweaver) and power of PHP. | ||

James wrote: > What is the best method for creating a Web Page that uses both > PHP and HTML ? I agree with both of the others that it all comes down to personal style. I usually have my main pages as pure php control structures that include various html files for outputing the data. This means that you can open up both files in something like dreamweaver and edit them independantly. Depends on the site, depends on your style. | ||
