real newbie PHP Q (resolved!)

[chrisjk]

I've been experimenting with PHP and MySQL a bit but to make outputed pages look good requires tonnes of HTML code within the PHP script.

It's getting really cumbersome and difficult to work out whats going on because of all the damn HTML code. Is there anywhere else I can put it, like in subs at the bottom of the script so I can print sections of HTML when nessecary?

[chrisjk]

meh, guess i'll have to make do with shoving it all in then...

yes chris you can.
put thisin the top of your page.

function start_tbl(){
echo<<<myhtml

regualar html in here, also can use variables like $var

myhtml;
   } 

then jsut call it like this

start_tbl();

that is it. but you can call it anything you want.
