In a language that I used to program in - for development we used to be able to make a function that basically just executed everything inbetween: <hidecode> Print "This is html printed" <some programming code> Print "this is more code"; </hidecode>
So basically everything in between hidecode and /hidecode is executed the same as if the hide code did not exist - except that the hidecode container would be something like: Function hidecode() { if(getenv("remoteaddress")=="myaddress") { %s (all code contained within the tags) } } So - the question is does PHP have some way that I cannot see to do this? I realize that I could create a function and pass everything in as an argument - but that would involve putting everything into variables, and overall being just a pain in the ass to add and remove the container. Is PHP too sophisticated a language to be able to do this easily and quickly? Or am I just missing some form of function that is totally obvious? Finally - yes, I know that I could slap an if tag around it - but that is also a big pain in the ass to add and remove each if tag when you go 'live' with the change, as opposed to a quick find and replace with a container function like this...
