hi there,

when a programmer saw my code in php and css.. he said that i should separate my codes..
example:


function fNavi() {
$list = a class='navi' href='#'>HOME</a>;
$list .= ]<a class='navi' href='#'>CONTACT</a>;
return $list;
}
echo fNavi();

and i dont understand what he was trying to tell me..he said it's a wrong practice embedding the html/css tags in my php code.

i really wanted to learn and improve my code in a professional way , good practice.

can somebody help me.... thanks

he might have meant to use the php tags



<?php 
function fNavi() {
$list = ?> a class='navi' href='#'>HOME</a>;
<?php $list .= ] ?> <a class='navi' href='#'>CONTACT</a>;
<?php return $list;
}
echo fNavi();
?>

apostrophe

Create your nav as normal html

<ul class=\"nav\">
<li><a href=\"#\">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href=\"#\">CONTACT</a></li>
</ul>

and save it as nav.php.inc

Then in your html page, where ever you want it to appear

<?php include ('nav.php.inc'); ?>

EDIT:
Obviously you would save your html page with the .php extension. eg. index.php
