Proper Way / Good practice in Coding php and html/css

[bagito]

hi there,

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

Code:

function fNavi() {
$list = a class=’navi’ href=’#’>HOME;
$list .= ]CONTACT;
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

Create your nav as normal html

Code:

• HOME
• CONTACT

and save it as nav.php.inc

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

Code:

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