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

[DC]

If you are not using smarty.... (which you should really take a look  
at).... ;-)

A lot of PHP servers have 'short tags' turned on. This can be changed  
in php.ini file if it isn't on. you can replace the verbosity of

<?php echo $variable ?>

with the nice

<?=$variable ?>

Also, 'Alternative syntax for control structures" is something to  
look at in the PHP manual. Basically it involves using colon to open  
foreach and if (and other control structures) and using endforeach;  
and endif; to close them.

These two ideas will allow you to tighten up the mixed HTML and PHP  
like so (at least i think it's cleaner! I added list-explode line for  
clearer variable assigns and I changed the closing anchor tag to be  
output in HTML instead of Kevin's suggestion to use a pragmatic PHP  
approach since I find it more readable and you avoid escaping  
doublequote):

<? foreach($searchResult['data'] as $key => $value):
   list($currentRecord, $mod)=explode('.',$key); ?>

<tr class="ver12">
<td>
<a href="famdetail.php?recid=<?=$currentRecord?>" >
<?=$value['FamilyName'][0] ?>
</a>
</td>
<? endforeach; ?>

cheers,
