PHP-HTML Templates: A New Working Relationship - Page 3

While designers might find it irritating to "copy-and-paste" large portion of PHP codes in their HTML designs, they will have no problem putting HTML-comments: "<!-- This is a HTML comment line -->" in their pages. If these designers could put HTML-comments at the places where our PHP code would appear then I could provide scripts to insert PHP codes in them! This idea is similar to template-driven designs.

In the places where rows of data will be display dynamically (based on database records), we will get them to denote them with "HTML-comment" tags : "<!--START_ROW-->" and "<!--END_ROW-->".

      <table>
        <tr>
          <td> <b>Name </b></td>
          <td> <b>Address</b></td>
        </tr>    
        
        <!--START_ROW-->
        <tr>
          <td> <!--NAME-DATA--> </td>
          <td> <!--ADDRESS-DATA--> </td>
        </tr>    
        <!--END_ROW-->
        
      </table>
