I thought its about time I started a blog.  The main reason is I need somewhere to keep track of my code notes, and typing it out helps me remember better.  If you do happen by,  feel free to use any code you find.

I have been scripting a lot of PHP and HTML lately and have been wanting the Object Oriented Functions within PHP to be available for the HTML I have been writing so I came up with this.


<?php

/**
 * Description of HTML
 *  -- OO-HTML --
 * @author Joseph Tveter
 *
 * Class to allow HTML to be eaisly written in native php
 * It will also work for building xml
 *
 * The $cmd string is the tag command such as a,div,html
 *
 * The $vals array holds a list of value commands for the html tag
 *
 * The $children array holds a list of children of the tag.  They will be placed in decending order, so a tag at [1] will come before a tag at [2]
 *
 * To print the string call HTML();
 * example:
 *
 * $mydiv = new HTML('div');
 * $mydiv->addValue('name', 'mydiv');
 * $mydiv->addChild('Hello World', '1');
 * echo $mydiv->HTML();
 *
 * <div name='mydiv'>
 * Hello World
 * </div>
 *
 *
 * I added some functions to make it a bit more like actionscript but you can also manipulate the tag arrays directly.
