Here's the alterative I would use:

I'm not wanting ti nitpick, but what if there were several attributes
you needed to populate from the PHP? I just find it easier on my eyes to
include HTML in the PHP string that's being output, but I can see the
definite merits for echoing out single parts that would only get in the
way of the HTML.

Ash:

Nitpick as much as you want -- we all have our level of accommodation.

To me, there usually is a clear demarcation between the different languages, their scope, and best application. If I had to deal with several attributes, such as shown here:

<h1 class="red header">Hello World</h1>

I would write it up like so:

$header_class = "red header";
$whatever = "Hello World";

<h1 class="<php echo($header_class);?>"><php echo($whatever);?></h1>

In my css, I would have

..red
{
color: #ff0000;
}

..header
{
font-size: 1.2em;
}

That would solve the problem of several attributes and keep php, html, and css separate.

So handling numerous attributes would not be a problem for me.

Cheers,

tedd
