yes:
if you have ever worked in a fast paced production environment, where html
is changed sometimes 5 times a day, digging through hundreds of lines of:
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"hello\" size=\"20\" value=\"$value\">"
starts to make you insane.
speaking as an html author, and a lover of php, _please_:
<input type="text" name="hello" size="20" value="<?=$value?>">
it makes the code useable.
I've had to avoid using many otherwise cool PHP "products" because of the
echo problem.
as part of the code standard for binarycloud I specifically outline this:
: _never_ and I do mean that _never_ use echo for printing html.
it makes your apps impossible to change, and in a production environment,
that's not ok.
what if I find a problem in your table code? etc.
