Because that's not all you will have. You will have
printf ("<HTML> blahblahb");
printf ("My name is %s",$name);
+ 763 more printf statements. With scattered logic added among
those printf statements. And a major nightmare when you want to
change the look of the site. And just how do you find the source
of that obscure HTML error that you just discovered in IE 5.0?
And when you fix that html bug - you'll need to restart the
server to load the new version of your handler.
Presentation and logic are two different things, and the more you
can keep them apart, the easier your life will be.
