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.

We have successfully installed php3 and php4 under AIX4.3.3 with
Apache1.3.19.
Now we can see the php3-documents in the browser(NS4.7).
In opposition to that the php4-documents are only downloadable.
Is there any setting that is not described in the manual we have to do
therewith the browser can show us both types of php?
Thanks for help,
