[FX.php List] Embed php into HTML or vice versa?

[Steve Hannah]

I would do:

	<?php foreach($searchResult['data'] as $key => $value)
    		{//start for each
                 $recordDetails=explode('.',$key);
		$currentRecord=$recordDetails[0];
    		echo "<tr class=\"ver12\">
                                 <td>
                                       <ahref=\"famdetail.php?recid= 
{$currentRecord}\">{$value['FamilyName'][0]}</a>
  				</td>
  				<td>{$value['StuList'][0]}</td>
    				<td>{$value['Address1'][0]}</td>
      				<td>{$value['City'][0]}</td>
     				<td>{$value['State'][0]}</td>
	 			<td>{$value['Zip'][0]}</td>
				<td align=\"right\">
					<a href=\"editfamorder.php?recid={$currentRecord}\">
						\$".number_format($value['AmtTotal'][0],'2',".","")."
  					</a>
				</td>
  				<td align=\"right\">
					<a href=\"lunchdetail.php?recid={$currentRecord}\">
						\$".number_format($value['LunchTotalPrice'][0],'2',".","")."
  					</a>
				</td>
				<td align=\"center\">{$value['PTAMembership'][0]}</td>
			</tr>";

		 } //end for each

		?>
