Re: Mixing HTML and PHP Variable Data

It is a valid method and you're not doing anything wrong. But as you found,
it can be verbose if you need to echo PHP values many times in a document.
ASP.NET is somewhat worse in this regard, especially with server-side
variables (<asp:literal>, <asp:textbox> and the like). Templating incurs
some overhead, but allows better document separation and organization.

Thank Loyd...

So, is the way I'm doing a valid method or is it a stoopid method?

Sorta. If you use a templating engine such as Smarty, you could use

generating it. This is similar to ASP.NET <http://asp.net/>'s <%=...

syntax.
