copied!<blockquote> <p>Would it be better to have all of my display functions return the HTML they generate, so that the main controller can just echo $page; or should the display files use raw HTML outside of PHP, which gets output as soon as it's read?</p> </blockquote> <p>One of the advantages of php is that the processing is similar to the output:</p> <p>So:</p> <pre><code><h1> <?= $myHeading; ?> </h1> </code></pre> <p>Is more clear than:</p> <pre><code>echo "<h1>$myHeading</h1>"; </code></pre> <p>An even more than:</p> <pre><code>echo heading1($myHeading); //heading1() being an hypothethical user defined function. </code></pre> <p>Based on that I consider that it is better to in the view to have HTML and and just print the appropriate dynamic fields using php.</p> <p>In order to get finner control over the output you can use: ob_start as gurunu recommended.</p> <p>You could of course use any of the several php MVC frameworks out there. My prefered one, now is: <a href="http://www.solarphp.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="SolarPHP">Solarphp</a></p> <p>but <a href="http://framework.zend.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Zend Framework">Zend Framework</a> and <a href="http://cakephp.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cakephp</a> could help you too.</p> <p>And finally if you don't want to use any framework You could still use a pretty slim templating engine: <a href="http://phpsavant.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="phpSavant">phpSavant</a>. That will save you a few headaches in the development of your view. th</p>
