Yeah, I see that and sometimes that's teh way to go unless I'm mixing in
javascript and then it really gets me confused!.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the way PHP works?
if I have twenty lines of xhtml and one line with a PHP variable in it,
how does the parser work - doesn't it just pass the xhtml to the browser
directly and only parse within <?php ?>
most times I'm making an xhtml template, getting it to work and then
adding the php logic, so it seemed to make sense to only use php where I
really needed it and not for all the xhtml templating.
Is my understanding screwed?
