Razeor Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hey all, I'm a newbie in the php game although I have been playing with html and css for quite some time. When looking at the browser source code I like to have it readable with proper indentation. I have not been able to do this to nicely with php so i was wondering how you all go about it. The two ways I usually go about it is either write the html outside of php tags but that creates a lot of open and closed tags. The other option I have seen is to use /t's in the php code when printing html. This looks ok but can cause problems when you go back up your code and make modifications. So how do the experts do it?

corbin Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I don't consider myself an expect, but I just either don't indent HTML (I'm lazy like that), or I put tabs in the HTML.... Like actual tabs, not \t. echo "<actual tab>blah"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Another option might be to use tidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 It doesn't matter. You wont be reading the HTML at any stage, so worry about tidy PHP, not HTML. Using tidy to cleanup HTML is a waste of resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
