It all depends on the level of abstraction that you choose to write your HTML pages in. You can write PHP code like this: <html> <head> <title><?php connect_to_database; grab title; print title; ?></title> </head> <body <?php grab body style; print style; ?>> <?php ugly long loop that prints some data mixed with a lot of HTML code and php escapes; ?> </body> </html> or use your own templates for the pages you want created, and write one-liners like the ones below: <?php titlepage(params); ?> <?php articlepage(params); ?> <?php feedbackpage(params); ?> and encapsulate things in larger, logical units within the xxxpage() collection of functions, possibly using classes if you like doing so ;-) It's all a matter of programming style and spending the time necessary to design your sites infrastructure, if you ask me. I've used php for the samples above, but mod_perl can be used too.
