Yes. That's the beauty of the language if you ask me. That's the *only* way I
write my web pages. I *never* use an HTML editor for anything.
With nothing but a text editor, I've even developed my own custom PHP function
library which mimics real HTML so that I don't have to write in HTML at all if I
don't want to.
For example, the following PHP code:
OpenTable(border(5).cellspacing(5).cellpadding(10));
OpenTR();
OpenTD(bgcolor(blue));
echo("Insert table data here.");
CloseTD();
CloseTR();
CloseTable();
produces the following HTML output:
<table border=5 cellspacing=5 cellpadding=10>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=blue>Insert table data here.</td>
</tr>
<table>
This approach makes it easy for me to insert PHP programming logic anywhere I want
in a script because my scripts are 100% PHP code instead of a constantly
alternating mix of HTML and blocks of PHP code.
When I first started using PHP, I loved how I was able to mix it with my HTML but
once I started writing a lot of really complex scripts, I found it increasingly
difficult to deal with PHP and HTML mixed. My function library solved all of that
and now I crank out pure PHP webpages all the time.
I've even begun to add JavaScript capabilities to the library. That's a big plus
for me because I hate JavaScript's anal syntax requirements. Such a PHP library
eliminates most of that hassle and enhances my productivity.
