Hmm.. Ok. So right now I've got this (psuedo code):
function displayAttributes($id)
{
// query db
// store results in array
// perform logic that builds HTML string
// return HTML string
}
But instead you think I should do this:
function GetAttributes($id)
{
// query db
// get records
// return record array
}
function BuildAttributes($id)
{
$attributes = GetAttributes($id);
// format $attributes
// return HTML string
}
Is that what you're suggesting?

I don't understand this exactly. What do you mean by "can't break the
way data is queried"?

Hmm.. Although this sounds like a good idea at first, it seems like it
would get pretty complicated really fast. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
