Some developers tell it's possible to write only PHP code for web page. i
agree with them but only when those PHP pages do not render web elements
(write text, display pictures, display formular, ...).
the purpose of my post is to know if i can really (at 100%) split client
code (display images, write text,...) from server code (move or copy data to
DB, create connection objects,...)
so what do you think about that ?

Yes, you can.
function foo() {
global $data;
//Fetch from database, format, etc. etc.
//Stuff all the data into $data variable
}
function bar() {
global $data;
//Output with HTML
}
$data = array();
foo();
bar();
I'm pretty sure this is what they mean.

Hello,
I believe TYPO3 has good implementation about splitting code and template.
And to archieve clean php code.
1-) Left html ?php echo $this; ?/html model development
2-) Find good template engine. (no not that smarty, it was too big)
3-) use strict dicipline to move html to outside of the code.
Also if you can use the php based template files you can lift off the template
overhead.
like.
template.php
$strPage =
html
head.
title.$strPageTitle./title
/head
body
table
tr
td.$strLeftBlock./td
td.$strRigthBlock./td
/tr
/table
/body
/html;
process.php
$strPageTitle = getPageTitle($_REQUEST['page']);
$strLeftBlock = getPageBlock($_REQUEST['page'],'left');
$strRightBlock = getPageBlock($_REQUEST['page'],'right');
include('template.php');
echo $strPage;
regards
Sancar

Re: [PHP] best way for PHP page
i would like to improve my coding quality when i use PHP code and for that i would request your help. in my web developer experience, i have to confess that i've never succeeded in spliting PHP code from HTML code. There's a myth that by separating html and php your code is cleaner, it's a little more than that. What you should consider doing is separating the business logic from the display logic. The business logic includes things like database calls, data calculations, etc. Display logic is what the page actually looks like. This will likely include both HTML and PHP, but the PHP will be limited to echoing out variables, as you should have already done all calculations. One very good way to do this separation is by using the MVC pattern - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller . I've found that using the MVC pattern helps me to write cleaner, more maintainable code as you always know where the code for a given function is located. Need to edit what the page looks like? It's in the view. Need to edit your database calls? It's in the model. Anything else? It's in the controller. There are lots of great frameworks out there that use the MVC pattern. Personally I use and recommend CodeIgniter (http:// www.codeigniter.com) - it's been a great one for me, but there are plenty of other well written frameworks out there if CodeIgniter isn't a good fit for you.

Re: [PHP] best way for PHP page
If MVC is too heavy for you it may also be worth exploring templating engines such as Smarty: http://www.smarty.net/ On Jan 2, 2008 4:10 PM, Nathan Nobbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jan 2, 2008 2:17 AM, Alain Roger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, i would like to improve my coding quality when i use PHP code and for that i would request your help. in my web developer experience, i have to confess that i've never succeeded in spliting PHP code from HTML code. i mean that all my web pages consist of PHP code mixed with HTML code (for rendering pages).

Alain: What do I think about that? I think there is only one web language and it's called php/mysql/html/js/css. For no one language can do it all. The bigger point is to learn how to separate data, presentation, and functionality.
