print "...."; Question

Steff

I am wandering if my code is making sense... I use a lot the print function.
Is it weird in this case where I have to display an array ? I thought it
would be better to have the entire array in php but now I am not sure if
that makes sense. Can you tell me please ?

It's all a matter of style. Personally, I don't use print for straight
HTML - I just code the HTML and go into PHP when I need it. Exceptions
are things like quick elements.

A quick look at your code (and I might have missed something) and it
looks like nothing before the connexion line requires PHP. So why even
have PHP there? Just code it as HTML.

Your while loop fetching the rows I would have similar, except I'd code
it as:

while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stmt,OCI_NUM))
{
echo "<option>" . $row[0] . "</option>";
}

You don't need two print statements and an echo here.

Again, you have a bunch of print statements following this which are
just displaying HTML code - no PHP variables, etc. So why even
complicate things by using PHP? Just do the straight HTML code.

And so on.

The bottom line is - my first order of business is coding clarity. When
you have a lot of just HTML code, it complicates matters to put them in
print or echo statements. It takes longer to process as PHP than it
does to just output the straight html. So why do it?
