Huh?  ".. most accepted way for generating ...is NOT generate.."?
Brain fart?  =)

I will regularly use large "echo" style statements to generate HTML, especially
<SELECT> tags and result tables.

Both of which are deprecated.  =(  _GET _POST are the new ones.

POST will allow larger form submits as well, like file uploads.  GET are for 
smaller and faster data sets.
