Mixed HTML and PHP in Echo

[Thor]

I'm personally not a fan of shortcodes. I've got to maintain a lot of legacy PHP code and the shortcodes become hard to read in larger files.

Then again I've been doing PHP for over 10 years.

That's my feeling as well, I'm glad I'm not the only one since kabel made it feel like I am.

To be clear I NEVER advocated for the use of short open tags, only short echo tags.

If you find your html littered with php tags, or your php littered with HTML strings, you are doing something wrong anyway. Obviously legacy code exists that is like this, but I see no point in doing this in any new code.

We will have to agree to disagree.

What did I say that you disagree with and why?

I think you have a bad case of the Dunning-Krugers

If you're looking for performance, why aren't you doing this client side?

Read the whole thread. Not looking for performance I merely asked kabel if there is a performance upside when using the short code version of echo as he suggested is the correct way instead compared to writing it out like I did.

Shorter code is easier to read. I doubt there's a performance increase.

Anyway this should be done client side.

Echo the shortcode version compared to the normal way.

And the part where you said if you have php in you html your doing it wrong.

By all means go to my thread file get contents and rewrite it "correctly" if it is wrong.

But I doubt it you come across as someone who want to force devs into doing things a certain way not because it's the best practice or ideal way but simply because it's the way YOU do it.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm miss labeling you, I don't know.

You want me to put that in Javascript?

I highly doubt that's the way to go,

#1 Javascript is a luxury so won't work if the client doesn't allow it secondly how is Javascript suppose to read and write to the dB?

What are you writing to the db?

See you should read the whole thread first. Me and Kabel went a little OT with the trying to explain to thor to use short codes instead.

First post.

Your discussing something that's not relevant as kabel's argument was OT.

Nod gave the solution to my OP. This thread can be closed.

1.3% of browsers on the web don't use JavaScript or have it disabled...

It's no longer a 'luxury'

This is a php thing I can't do this in javascript and would prefer not to have it in JS either.

Like I said this is OT my OP has been answered perfectly.

Well technically you can do it in javascript. Server side.

True, but one step at a time.

I want to end up as nodejs dev but still a long way to go so will stick to php for now.
