As long as you're organize, and consistent, and coding readably, that should be fine. Basically what I do is I try to separate programming/logic with presentation as much as possible. Put most programming on the top (PHP, Database query, etc) and presentation on the bottom (HTML part with some PHP for logic and displaying variable). > Is there a point at which the mode switching starts to > seriously degrade performance and reliability?
