[PHP] Re: better way to mix html and php code?
None, their all messy and terribly hard to read, I would use CSS instead of tables, that way their would be not much need to change any HTML code incase you wanted to re-design your webpage with another style or make slight alterations etc, HTML coders should be able to understand CSS so would be able to identify the bits of HTML within your PHP code if it needed changing, your code would be a lot easier to read using CSS, easier to alter and take up roughly 25% less space.

Ummm... bullturds :)
Here is an example of a layout template:
-
jinn:prepend/
html
head
titlejinn:pageTitle//title
style type=text/css
!--
jinn:template path=css/main.template/
--
/style
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptTags/
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptTags dynamic=true/
script type=text/javascript language=javascript
!-- //
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScript/
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScript dynamic=true/
function onLoadRoutines()
{
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptOnLoad/
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptOnLoad dynamic=true/
}
// --
/script
/head
body onLoad=javascript:onLoadRoutines() bgcolor=#ff
marginheight=5 marginwidth=10 topmargin=0 l
-
Now anywhere in the modules (which incidentally get loaded before the
content), or anywhere else in a sub-template content can be accumulated
in any of the above accumulator names. I have worked on plenty of
complex sites, and my JavaScript and other content always goes EXACTLY
where it's supposed to be, regardless of where the logic exists that
determines it's need to exist. For instance to include on load
javascript from any module:
-
$sAcc = $this-getServiceRef( 'accManager' );
$acc = $sAcc-getAccumulatorRef( 'javaScriptOnLoad' );
$acc-append( alert( 'F!' );\n );
I would highly agree with James Benson about CSS.
I agree CSS is great, but it's not everything. Custom tags allow one to
embed macro and meta semantics into a page without the cumbersome nature
of PHP function calls. For instance I find this meta tag handy in many
sites I create:
project:searchable
Some content that the site's search feature can search upon.
/project:searchable
Another one that my designer friends REALLY like:
project:restrict access=admin, manager
Some content that only admin and management can view.
/project:restrict
So templates aren't just about making pretty tables, though they can do
that quite well too.
Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] Re: better way to mix html and php code?
I wouldn't pick any of those approaches.
We did a quick POC for a site using approach #1.
Unfortunately, that POC code has lived to go into production.
Now, we are looking into some sort of framework that would allow us to
separatate of PHP code and HTML -- as much as possible. (Looking into Smarty
right now.) Haven't finalized the approach/framework yet. Any suggestions
would be welcomed.
Thanks.
