Trend Four: Value that knowledge grows and that education and a commitment to life-long learning are essential tools for all segments of our societies to be successful.
Shaping the university's student body to be representative of our country.
Providing strategies that assure access from all economic levels of the Commonwealth.
Operating with efficiency that maintains affordable costs to students.
A college education is considered a major key in achieving economic success and upward mobility in American society. However, first-generation and low-income students and students of color still have many disadvantages ranging from financial to personal needs and from cultural to institutional barriers. Statistics show that low income students and students of color are two times more likely to abandon studies than students who do not have these associated risk factors and they are less likely to return (Renny Christopher in "New Working Class Studies in Higher Education"). Slippery Rock University, as a premier residential institution, needs to continue its successful strategies and develop new strategies that narrow this gap. In addition, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) has established accountability measures that include, number of degrees awarded, second year persistence by ethnicity, graduation rates by ethnicity, diversity of entering class, internships, and enrollment diversity; all of which are addressed within the goals and strategies/actions associated with improving Slippery Rock University's commitment to social mobility.
For the purpose of strategic planning, low income students are identified as Pell Grant Recipients. Underrepresented Minority Students (URM) – Includes African-American, Hispanic, and American-Indian students; as well as students who report a combination of Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander with any other race. Students who select Hispanic and another race are considered Hispanic, not multiracial. Non-URM students include White, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and students who report White and Asian as their multiple races. Unknown and nonresident aliens are excluded.
To clearly define these strategies/actions, existing trends first must be shared. These trends include but are not limited to:
SRU Goals and Actions
Currently at SRU, 47% of the fall 2009 first-year cohort students are first generation, 38.4% are low income and 9.1% are students of color. These students enter a new, often alien culture in the university, with a value system that may conflict with their home experience. SRU has and will continue to undertake efforts to assist with this transition.
SRU Goal Student Identification, Tracking, Support and Assessment:
Improve student learning and success of low-income, first-generation students and students of color, (FGLI/SC) including first-year and transfer cohorts, as measured by improved retention and graduation rates, obtained through existing and expanded institutional research processes.

Am Fam Physician. 2000 May 1;61(9):2785-2790.
Businesses frequently call on family physicians to provide employee health services at the work site or in the clinician's office. These services include medical screening (detection of dysfunction or disease before an employee would ordinarily seek medical care) and medical surveillance (analysis of health information to identify workplace problems that require targeted prevention). Such services can transform acute care and routine screening activities into opportunities for primary prevention when they are integrated into the broader framework of work-site safety and health programs. Components of these programs include management commitment, employee participation, hazard identification and control, employee training and program evaluation. For optimal program success, family physicians must communicate with frontline safety officers and have first-hand knowledge of the workplace and its hazards. Professional and technical resources are available to guide the family physician in the role of medical surveillance program coordinator.
Occupational medicine is the branch of preventive medicine devoted to the prevention and management of occupational injury, illness and disability, and the promotion of health and productivity of workers.1 The family physician who provides occupational medicine services must maintain continuous vigilance for signs of prevention failure. To be an effective participant in an employer's health and safety program, the family physician must visit the work site, observe the jobs being performed, review known hazards with knowledgeable staff, review established legal requirements for medical surveillance, screening and prevention, and talk with employees.2–5
Primary Prevention in the Workplace
Primary prevention in the workplace (i.e., preventing known hazards from coming into contact with vulnerable employees) depends on appropriately implemented engineering and administrative controls. For example, properly functioning fume capture hoods and ventilation design can prevent exposures to lead, known effective exhaust ventilation for silica can prevent silicosis, and creative ergonomic materials handling design can reduce the probability of upper-extremity cumulative trauma disorders and reinjury. Family physicians who are involved in occupational medicine services have a unique opportunity to sound an alarm when a workplace has a problem.
Medical Screening and Surveillance
Medical screening is a valuable tool for secondary prevention in the workplace. Screening can detect disease or dysfunction before medical care would ordinarily be sought. Screening tests are administered to asymptomatic persons who are at risk for certain diseases or adverse health outcomes.
Screening has a clinical focus, and its fundamental purpose is early diagnosis and treatment of the person. In some settings, medical screening also affords an opportunity to identify new instances of occupational injury or illness, assess fitness for duty and evaluate the efficacy of personal protective measures.
Employee medical surveillance is an additional strategy for optimizing the health status of persons who work in settings where hazards exist. Medical surveillance involves a careful search for unexpected outcomes that might herald new or uncontrolled hazards in the workplace. It most often refers to the systematic collection, analysis and dissemination of health information on groups of workers.6-8 For medical surveillance to be an effective warning mechanism, it must be connected to preventive safety and health actions.
Classic examples include hearing-threshold shifts on audiometric testing and rising blood lead levels. Injury data suggesting patterns of tenosynovitis or epicondylitis in particular production areas constitute an important and frequently overlooked source of surveillance information. Similarly, a single case can trigger an alarm in an astute physician. However, eliciting potential workplace connections requires awareness and inquiry into the patient's occupation. Such cases, called "sentinel events," are also a form of medical surveillance.9
Once information about potentially work-related adverse health events is communicated to work-site health and safety personnel, previously unidentified workplace hazards may be discovered. Some notable historical exposure-effect relationships have surfaced in this way. Examples include the relationship between vinyl chloride and hepatic angiosarcoma10 and the relationship between the pesticide dibromochloropropane and reduced sperm counts.11 A single case of noise-induced hearing loss might be the trigger for intensified noise abatement.
A comprehensive medical surveillance program contains many different elements. The family physician can facilitate the development and maintenance of a program by securing written management commitment from the employer, determining what specific medical testing is appropriate and what is required by law, educating employees and management about the purpose and benefits of the medical screening elements, reviewing the data collected, communicating results and periodically reviewing the program.
Screening and surveillance serve different but complementary roles in preserving and protecting the health of employees. Effective work-site health and safety programs should include both strategies as a means to evaluate program effectiveness. The family physician has an important clinical role in carrying out both medical screening and surveillance.
Developing a Medical Surveillance Plan
Development of a medical screening and surveillance plan is based on an assessment of the physical, biomechanical, biologic and/or chemical hazards to which employees may be exposed and which have the potential to cause adverse health consequences. The family physician can assist in this process by visiting the work site and interviewing health, safety and production personnel, as well as the involved employees.
The physician should observe the work processes in their entirety, evaluate job tasks, review material safety data sheets of relevant chemicals, discuss personal protective measures, conduct a medical literature review as needed and investigate all other relevant information necessary to achieve a full understanding of the hazards and exposures that are present. Published hazard exposure limits are available from a number of governmental and nongovernmental sources (Table 1).

For certain chemical substances, medical surveillance, including which employees must be enrolled, is prescribed by law.12-14 Standards are set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).15
When OSHA has set no standards for a specific substance, the principal employees to include in screening and surveillance programs are those at risk for adverse health effects as a result of definite or anticipated exposure to the substance. The employer, along with the family physician, must assess all employees when deciding which ones should be assigned to the high-risk group (Table 2). Employees assigned to a high-risk group because of their a priori risk of disease or dysfunction should be enrolled in proactive screening on a periodic and continuing basis.

The family physician is often called on to provide and coordinate screening of employees.5,16 Typically, the physician's responsibilities involve hands-on physical assessment or ancillary testing. Tasks might include, for example, performing preplacement or periodic spirometry on employees wearing negative-pressure half-face respirators for work in the finishing section of an automobile repair shop, obtaining blood cholinesterase levels in employees who work with pesticides in a landscaping business, obtaining annual complete blood counts and electrocardiograms in oncology nurses who are exposed to toxic chemotherapeutic agents, or performing skin examinations on members of a road-paving crew with seasonal exposure to asphalt, tar, creosote and other hydrocarbon materials.
In the context of work-site safety and health programs, the employer may ask the family physician to perform nonclinical tasks, such as helping to design appropriate screening content or an overall surveillance strategy. In designing screening content, the physician should refer to standard clinical preventive screening resources17-19 and, when necessary, occupational screening guidelines.20
Attention to sensitivity, specificity and predictive value is particularly important in occupational screening programs. Times when screening should be considered are listed in Table 3. According to a position statement from the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, medical surveillance should not be used for the purposes of hiring and firing.21
Screening Intervals
At the time of first hire or first exposure (preplacement or baseline)
Periodically as required by regulation or as recommended by the physician
When exposure or employment ends (termination)
After accidental or unanticipated exposure

In complex situations, additional expertise may be sought from board-certified occupational medicine physicians, toxicologists or epidemiologists. Health professionals knowledgeable in the field of occupational medicine can be found through various professional organizations and other associations (Table 4).

In the context of surveillance, biologic monitoring refers to the collection and analysis of blood, urine, sputum or other body fluids and tissues to look for evidence of exposure to chemical hazards in the workplace.22 Depending on the chemical of interest, biologic monitoring may evaluate the unchanged chemical in body fluids, a metabolite of the original chemical, an enzymatic alteration, a physiologic effect or a secondary clinical finding. Examples include obtaining a blood lead level and/or zinc protoporphyrin level in a worker with known lead exposure, obtaining a urinary phenol level in a worker with benzene exposure and obtaining a red blood cell cholinesterase level in a worker with organophosphate pesticide exposure.
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists publishes guidelines and reference values (biologic exposure indices) for biologic monitoring.23
Communicating Results
Feedback of individual and group results completes the surveillance cycle. The family physician who is involved in a work-site medical surveillance program must communicate results to several stakeholder groups. In doing so, confidentiality must be ensured.24
The family physician should prepare a written individual summary report for each employee who participates in the medical surveillance program. A copy of this report, which might be entitled "Disposition Statement," "Physician's Written Opinion" or something similar, should be given to the employee and explained in detail. The employer should be given a similar report but with confidential clinical information "blinded." The following information should be covered in the employer's written report on an employee: the employee's fitness for duty; the employee's medical capability to wear personal protective equipment; recommended medical removal protection, if appropriate; comparisons with previous medical screening and surveillance data; clinical follow-up recommendations; and recommended accommodations relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Collective findings for the employee group(s) enrolled in the surveillance program should be condensed into a feedback report. The group report should address overall findings and trends (normal or abnormal), as well as information on sentinel health events or clusters of employees demonstrating some abnormal facet(s) of health. Recommendations for strategies to prevent or reduce the likelihood of adverse health effects should also be included in the report. To ensure confidentiality, the physician should use job codes, job titles or other exposure surrogates instead of the names of individual employees.
Periodic meetings should be held to discuss group findings and their relevance to work-site hazards. These meetings should include relevant employer representatives, such as personnel involved in industrial hygiene, safety, environmental issues, on-site medical provision and management. It is imperative that the coordinating family physician participate in these meetings. These forums provide the greatest opportunity for a meaningful exchange of information between the clinician and the work site, as well as the integration of surveillance program parts into the whole.
The group findings should also be presented orally or in writing to the employees. An opportunity for discussion should be provided.
The goal of the feedback process is to ensure that the activities of the family physician performing screening tasks are linked to the rest of the surveillance effort. The feedback process facilitates and encourages continuous review of work-site exposures and the health outcomes of such exposures, and it also provides a mechanism for continuously improving health and safety performance. As appropriate, action-planning steps should be established to remedy matters of concern.
Program Quality
Assuring quality in a medical surveillance program is essential to its success. Quality assurance begins with the employer identifying an appropriately trained and experienced physician to engage in the program. Desired physician credentials include evidence of specific training and experience in occupational health. Nonphysician occupational health professionals should be similarly trained and experienced.
As mentioned previously, family physicians are often called on, preferentially or out of necessity, to participate in work-site surveillance programs. Physicians with an interest in this area can obtain additional training.
A second element in continuous quality improvement is data collection (i.e., ancillary tests, biologic monitoring) that conforms to recognized standards of acceptability, reproducibility, calibration and technician certification. For example, spirometry should be performed in accordance with the American Thoracic Society's criteria for acceptability and reproducibility,25 and testing should be done by personnel who have taken an instructional course approved by the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety. Audiometry should be performed by technicians with training from the Council on Accreditation of Occupational Hearing Conservation, and laboratories that analyze biologic samples should have certification from the American College of Pathologists.
The family physician who is overseeing the surveillance effort must take the lead in ensuring that quality issues relating to medical screening and surveillance are adequately addressed. This step is important because when otherwise healthy persons are screened, end points of significance are usually more subtle than they are in overtly symptomatic persons. Adhering to available guidelines also facilitates epidemiologic review because of the quality and integrity of the data obtained.
Generic Safety and Health Programs and Medical Surveillance
OSHA has announced its intention to publish its version of a generic safety and health program sometime in the year 2000. The draft version26 does not include explicit required medical surveillance but notes that medical screening and surveillance are legitimate examples of information that can be used to help understand the effectiveness of safety and health programs.

Re: Another "opinions requested" thread about boat choices...
I think just about anything that came with a centerboard around the 70's and 80's in the mid to upper 30 foot range will be a reasonably well built boat. The cost of the mechanism kind of kept away the more poorly built boats. Tartan, Bristol, Pearson and Erickson all have good reps. You might also look at a Freedom, they made some centerboard models but have unusual rigs(not a bad thing just another option). Personally I really like the older Tartans, have a good reputation for sailing ability, and quite high quality construction for a production boat. They also look really nice both the 34 and 37.
Center boards seem to have 2 big advantages, that is skinny water ability, and down wind performance. They of course do loose some up wind pointing ability to a fin keel as you can't get something from nothing.

Sharapova hangs on for quarterfinal win at Carson
CARSON, Calif. Maria Sharapova overcame problems with her new service motion to outlast Urszula Radwanska of Poland 6-4, 7-5 in the quarterfinals of the LA Women's Tennis Championships on Friday night.
Still finding her way after shoulder surgery that sidelined her for nearly 10 months, Sharapova is working on an abbreviated service motion to take pressure off her right shoulder.
"I made a lot more errors than I wanted to. In the second set, just kind of went off," she said. "I created so many bad habits. Eventually it's going to work itself into place."
She struggled to control it in the second set, when she held serve just twice. She gained her first hold at love to tie the set at 5-all. Sharapova broke Radwanska in the next game, then served out the match.
Sharapova's ace on her second serve set up match point. Her forehand winner in the corner was called long, but she challenged the call and won to advance to Saturday's semifinals. Two of Sharapova's previous three matches went three sets.
"It's not really tired," she said about her shoulder. "After playing four matches, it's kind of a shock to the system. The benefit is you get in these situations and you learn from that."
Radwanska led 5-3 in the second set, when Sharapova committed 11 of her 13 double faults. But the Pole got broken in her final two service games, pounding her racket on the hardcourt in disgust.
"Her second serve she was hitting 70 miles per hour and I was pounding on it," said Sharapova, who stepped into the court and ripped several winners off Radwanska's short serves.
Sharapova will play No. 10 seed Flavia Pennetta of Italy, runner-up here last year, who defeated second-seeded Vera Zvonareva of Russia 6-4, 6-2.
Sharapova has yet to win the title in Carson, where she gained the world's No. 1 ranking during the tournament in 2005. She returned to singles play in May and came into this week ranked 61st.
"I have no regrets," she said. "Slowly but surely I'm finding my way on the court. I feel like I'm moving better. A lot of what you lose is hand-eye coordination and I feel like I'm getting that back."
Samantha Stosur rallied for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 quarterfinal victory over Zheng Jie of China, moving the Aussie doubles specialist into the semifinals for the second consecutive week.
Stosur has enjoyed a solid run in singles the last few months, reaching a career-best ranking of 18th in June. She has yet to win a singles title on the WTA Tour, although she's been a four-time runner-up, including once last year.
"It's definitely a goal of mine to try and win a singles title. I've been in four finals and lost every one of them in three sets," she said. "My whole career I've been trying to become a better singles player. This year it's all just come together."
A week ago, Stosur defeated Serena Williams in three sets before losing to eventual winner Marion Bartoli in the semifinals at Stanford.

Next challenge: Build trust
It was hardly the last hurdle, however. Once the governor signs the legislation, Second Substitute Senate Bill 5636, work will begin on a new set of challenges.
The first is building trust between WSU and its new partners -- Everett Community College and the eight other colleges and universities with programs at University Center.
This is not a marriage of mutual consent. It was sought by WSU, at the behest of Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson and other community leaders, and opposed by officials at Everett Community College, which houses and currently runs University Center.
Many of the other partners opposed it, too, arguing that a successful program that has grown to 500 students didn't need an overhaul. Their continued presence may depend, in part, on the approach WSU brings to its new leadership role. It's up to WSU President Elson Floyd now to put his spoken commitment to the region into action, leading a planning process that's transparent and collaborative. It must set University Center on a course for the robust growth in four-year degree opportunities that study after study has shown the region lacks.
That, of course, presents its own challenges, primarily financial. State funding for higher education has been slashed deeply in recent years, and will be again once lawmakers pass a 2011-13 budget. WSU has had to endure huge budget blows, and now must devote resources to fulfilling its pledge to bring engineering programs to Everett.
Facilities will be another challenge. The current space housing University Center is full, and the growth backers of this change envision will require more. Will University Center expansion take place on the EvCC campus, or will it grow elsewhere? In either case, it will require new state funding. The Legislature's understanding of that is implied in the bill approved Thursday.
Lawmakers bought themselves some time. A planning council composed of representatives from WSU, EvCC, other University Center partners and the community have until late next year to complete a strategic plan, with WSU assuming leadership of University Center by July 1, 2014.
For now, the most important capital for WSU to earn is the trust of its new partners. Reaching out to them should be high on President Floyd's to-do list.

One of the aspects of PHP that students find really baffling is the challenge of mixing HTML markup with PHP content. In this tutorial I will attempt to demystify the HTML + PHP mashup with step by step examples. This tutorial was painstakingly written for my Centennial GMD 304 students, but if it's useful to you in any way, so much the better!
HTML is used for markup and static content; PHP is used for content that could change and for repeating content.
For example, suppose you wanted display an article (like a WordPress post). The markup might be an H1 tag for the title of the post, and then P tags for each paragraph of the post content. You would use HTML to markup the title and the post content. But the title and content might change, and are coming from the database, so it is up to PHP to insert them. Take a look at the following sample article:
Sample Post Title
This is sample body content. Each paragraph must be wrapped in its own P tag.
Here is another sample paragraph which must be wrapped in yet another P tag.
That's how we want our articles to be output in the browser. The challenge for someone who's not coding HTML every single day is to visualize this in terms if the HTML markup needed. To do that, you need to study the source code of your HTML output. In the above example, the source looks like this:

Sample Post Title<\h1>

This is sample body content. Each paragraph must be wrapped in its own P tag.<\p>

Here is another sample paragraph which must be wrapped in yet another P tag.<\p>
You have to remain aware of this markup as you're writing your PHP. You need to be very rational about the order of things, so you know when to insert your HTML markup, and when to insert your PHP content.
HTML and PHP sequencing
It's important to have an idea ahead of time, of where your markup should go. For example, you might think about the order of the markup from the previous sample article in this way:
- first, open an H1 heading tag
- then, insert the article title
- then, close the H1 heading tag
- now, for each paragraph of your article content:
- open a P paragraph tag
- insert one paragraph of content using PHP
- close the P paragraph tag
- move on to the next paragraph and do it again.
So, now let's look at how we mix HTML and PHP.
Mixing HTML and PHP
There are a number of strategies when it comes to mixing your markup, your static text, and your variable or conditional content (PHP content). The two most popular approaches are:
- 'echo' all the things
- Output HTML as HTML and PHP as PHP.
Let's take a closer look at these two approaches.
Echo all the things
In this approach, everything is done inside the
<?php ... ?> tags, so every line of code must be valid PHP. This includes any HTML that you might need to output. In PHP the way you output stuff is to use the
echo keyword. Once again, this includes HTML.
Before we go any further, review what you already should know about
echoing in PHP:
- echo a variable using
echo $my_variable;
- that variable must be scalar (ie: not an array)
- anything that is not a variable must be wrapped in quotes like this:
echo "Hello World!";
- this is also true for HTML:
echo "
My Heading
";
- these are called "string literals"
- you can echo multiple things using multiple
echostatements. PHP does not insert white space or line breaks between echo statements, which may be a bit disappointing at first, but is actually helpful in the end
- you can echo multiple things by separating them with commas:
echo "Hello", " ", "World";
- you can mix and match string literals and variables this way too:
echo "Hello ", $name;
- alternatively, strings can be concatenated (smushed together) using the
.concatenation operator:
echo "Hello " . $name;
- finally, you can use variables within your quotes and PHP is smart enough to replace the variable name with the actual variable contents:
echo "Hello $name";
- this variable "expansion" described above only works in double quotes (
"); anything inside single quotes is output literally
So, back to "Echo all the things". In the example we have been working with so far, we have an article title and the article content. Let's say we have stored the title in a PHP variable called
$title and the article content inside
Refer to the section called "HTML and PHP sequencing", above. If you wanted to reproduce those steps exactly using the "echo" method,
echoing your HTML within quotation marks, and inserting your PHP variables at the appropriate places, how would you proceed?
I suggest you try to work it out on your own right now before looking further. Skip back up to the HTML and PHP sequencing section and re-read the sequence of things we want to output, until you completely comprehend it to the point of being able to explain it to someone else.
If you have a clear idea in your mind about the sequence in which your HTML and PHP should be output, the actual code should be easy.
Got it? Okay, here's the most literal translation of the sequence described in the HTML and PHP sequencing section, using the echo all the things method:
echo "
";
echo $title;
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo $content;
echo "
";
Or, you can do it more compactly:
echo "
", $title, "
";
echo "
", $content, "
";
And, my personal favourite:
echo "
$title
";
echo "
$content
";
All are equally valid approaches. The one that works for you is whichever one that makes the most sense to you. It's the one that you can use every time and not feel confused. It's a matter of personal taste and none are "wrong".
As long as you are outputting valid HTML.
HTML as HTML
The alternative approach to echo all the things is to output HTML as HTML and PHP as PHP. If you use this technique, your HTML is just plain ol' HTML, just like you used to do it when you were using Dreamweaver to code static sites. HTML remains outside any
<?php ... ?> tags and so you do not have to
echo it – just type it in the way you want it to appear in your browser.
This is because even though the file may have a
.php extension, it's still a
.html file except the parts inside
<?php ... ?> tags. You only need to worry about using
echo within the
<?php ... ?> sections.
To see how this approach is different from the echo all the things approach, see the sample code below, which ought to have the same result in the browser as the previous examples.
<?php echo $title; ?>
<?php echo $content; ?>
Differences between the two approaches
In the first approach, you're doing a lot of
echoing, and you need to remember to carefully watch your use of quotation marks (").
In the second approach, you find yourself with a lot of
<?php ... ?> blocks, and you still have to remember to
echo within those sections.
There should be virtually no performance difference between the two approaches. It comes down to personal style, and what you are looking to emphasize:
- echo all the things places the emphasis on your PHP. If you have a lot of loops,
ifstatements or other programming logic, with a little bit of HTML, this is the way to go as it will make your code a lot more readable.
- HTML as HTML and PHP as PHP puts the focus on your HTML structure, and is useful if you have a little bit of PHP that you can conveniently insert into your HTML structure by
echoing simple variables or functions.
Which to use?
The choice is yours. For customizing WordPress template files, most people find that the HTML as HTML approach is the most readable. This is because WordPress provides lots of very helpful "template functions" that insert the content you want using function names that are very descriptive, such as
the_title() and
the_content(). These functions also handle the
echoing part, too, which makes your code even more readable. Below is the same example as above, but this time, using the WordPress template functions:

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>

Sweet, huh?
On the other hand, if you're not working in WordPress, and you want to focus on your PHP, then I strongly recommend the echo all the things approach, particularly if you are dealing with loops and/or conditional statements.
Arguably, this method is a little harder and requires a bit more thought around your quotation marks, and your HTML structure is a little obfuscated. But in my opinion, if you're here to learn PHP, you should be focusing on your PHP. So for the rest of this tutorial, I'll be using the echo all the things approach in all my examples.
Validating your Markup
And as you test your PHP, you need to verify that your markup is correct, too. These days, modern browsers are pretty smart about fixing badly formed markup, so even horribly broken markup code might end up looking exactly right on the screen.
For example, in-class, I recently saw (a lot of) the following HTML output:

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

This is almost always wrong, since in HTML a list (ordered or unordered) consists of a list container (the

) and then a number of list items (the

). What is almost certainly wanted in this case is:

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

However, if all you are doing is looking at your output in the browser window, chances are you'll probably see more or less the same result, regardless of the structure:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
For better or for worse, modern web browsers can generally figure out what you meant and will do their best to close open tags, fix nesting issues and otherwise clean up rogue markup. The problem is not so much the browser, as what happens with other consumers of your content, such as Google Search indexers, RSS feed syndicators and Assistive Technologies used by persons with disablities. Nowadays you have a very real responsibility toward creating valid and semantically correct markup, so you need to take charge of your testing.
To catch markup blunders, you have to get into the discipline of using View Source in your browser to see the actual HTML markup that gets generated by your program. If your browser doesn't feature the ability to view a given page's source HTML, it's time to switch browsers. Google Chrome and Firefox both have this feature, as does Internet Explorer on Windows. For most browsers, just right-click on an empty part of your website in your browser window, and select "View Source" from the context menu that appears.
Loops and Other Complex Structures
It's the complex structures such as loops that really cause the confusion with all this, so that's what I want to focus on for the rest of this tutorial.
At the end of the day, however, no matter how complex the structure, all you really need to do is follow these steps:
- Understand what you're outputting
- Determine the correct, semantic, HTML structure for this output
- Write out, in plain language, the sequence of markup and content that you need to output
- Pick an HTML+PHP mashup method (echo all the things or HTML as HTML)
- Code it out.
By the time you've gotten to #5, the code should practically write itself. At least as far as your markup is concerned. Figuring out your PHP logic is another thing altogether, but that's not the scope of this tutorial.
Single Loop Example
It's always best to code by example, so let's imagine a simple scenario:
You have a catalog of books. Your code should list each book title, along with the author, the publisher and the published date.
Okay, let's go through the steps outlined above and see if it's really as easy as I claim.
1. Understand what you're outputting
Re-read the description of the example again. Are you clear about what we'll be outputting? A visual example is always good in these circumstances:
The Lord of the Rings
J.R.R. Tolkien, Unwin and co., 1954
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Dr. Seuss, Random House, 1957
The Year Without Pants
Scott Berkum, Jossey-Bass, 2013
You get the picture.
2. Determine the correct HTML structure
The first question you need to ask yourself if: "is this a list?". Is this output a collection of repeating, similarly-themed and similarly-structured content? If so, it's a list. If it's a list, is the sequence critical and/or number of items important? Then it should be an ordered list, if not, an unordered list.
Almost all content that gets output using a loop in PHP should be expressed as an HTML list. Let's review the two list structures that HTML provides:

List Item

List Item

List Item

List Item

The next question is, "is there a heading in all of this?". And if there is, which level of heading is correct?
If you determine that something can act as a heading, then the level is usually one level lower than whatever level you're currently in. Since the title of most pages is usually contained within an H1 tag, you're stuck with H2 or greater.
Finally, how will you express the rest of the content? Is there some further structure that should be recognized, or is it all just paragraph text after that? A frequently-overlooked HTML structure is the definition list

Label

Value

 structure that is perfect for expressing any set of data that has a label and a value.
In this example we'll keep things simple. We'll just use an H1 for the title of the book, and then a single P tag for the rest of the book meta data.
The HTML structure for this example
Okay, so using the criteria above:
Is this a list? Yes.
Is it ordered or unordered? Unordered – if there's no compelling reason to make it an ordered (numbered) list, then it's just an unordered list.
Is there a heading? Sure. Let's use the book title as a heading.
What about the rest of the content? We'll just stick it all inside a single P tag for now.
Okay, so let's see some sample markup:

The Lord of the Rings

J.R.R. Tolkien, Unwin and co., 1954

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Dr. Seuss, Random House, 1957

The Year Without Pants

Scott Berkum, Jossey-Bass, 2013

3. Write out the sequence
All right, this is probably the most important part of the process: writing out the plain-language version. Why? Because it's the part where you get to internalize the structure. It's not "out there" anymore. It's inside your head, the way the location of your house is in your head. If someone asked for directions on how to get to your house, you could tell them, right? And more importantly, they would understand your instructions. You wouldn't even need to think about it that much – you would have a "picture" in your head of where you house was in relation to the major intersections, and you would just walk through that picture in your head as you explain the directions to get there.
Well, the same needs to be true for your HTML structure. If you can't explain it to someone else, or even to yourself, you really shouldn't even move past this step until you can. There's no point trying to code to an unknown target. It's a complete waste of time and energy. This is actually true for just about every coding task, but let's just stay focused on HTML structure.
Let's write out the sequence for this example. I strongly encourage you to try to work this out for yourself first, before looking at the solution, below.
All right, here's the sequence:
- Start an unordered list (UL). (All the book listing items will be contained in this list)
- For each book in the list we need to:
- Open a List Item tag (LI)
- Output the title:
- Open a heading (H1) tag
- Output the title of the book
- Close the heading (H1) tag
- Output the rest of the content:
- Open a P tag
- Output the Author
- Output a comma and a space (", ")
- Output the Publisher
- Output another comma and space (", ")
- Output the year
- Close the P tag
- Keep looping through each book in the list
- After the loop is all done, close the unordered list (UL) tag
4 & 5. Code it out (using the "echo all the things" method)
Okay, now that you've really thought the markup and the sequence out, this should be the easy part! To start, let's decide that we have all of our book data stored in an array called
$books. It looks like this:
$books = array (
array( "title" => "The Lord of the Rings", "author" => "J.R.R. Tolkien",
"publisher" => "Unwin and co.", "published_date" => 1954 ),
array( "title" => "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", "author" => "Dr. Seuss",
"publisher" => "Random House", "published_date" => 1957 ),
array( "title" => "The Year Without Pants", "author" => "Scott Berkum",
"publisher" => "Jossey-Bass", "published_date" => 2013 )
So, it's a regular array (a list) of books, and each array item is an associative array (a record) of a specific book.
To access the first book we could use:
$book = $books[0]; and then to get the publisher of that book, we would reference the appropriate key, like this:
echo $book['publisher'];. To loop through all our books,
foreach is the best structure, and the most logical variable naming is:
foreach( $books as $book ){ // ... }. One at a time, each book's record (associative array) is copied into
$book. Then you use the appropriate key to get at the book data you want.
// Before we start the loop, start the unordered list
echo "
";
// Now, lets loop through our $books array, copying each book's data to $book.
foreach( $books as $book ){
// $book is now an associative array that has the following keys:
// "title", "author", "publisher" and "published_date".
// Each book in our list is a list item, so before we list the book data,
// open a list item tag:
echo "
";
// Now for the title. Wrap it in an H1 tag as per our sequence above:
echo "
";
echo $book['title'];
echo "
";
// We could also have written it this way:
// echo "
", $book['title'], "
";
// Or this way:
// echo "
" . $book['title'] . "
";
// Or the most compact way:
// echo "
{$book['title']}
";
// Now let's output the rest of the book data, inside a P tag
// and separated with commas.
echo "
";
echo $book['author'];
echo ", ";
echo $book['publisher'];
echo ", ";
echo $book['published_date'];
echo "
";
// That's it for this book's listing, so close the list item
echo "
";
// That's it for the loop. By the time our program gets to this line, it will
// have looped through every single book in our list of books, so it's time
// to close off the unordered list tag:
echo "
";
// And we're done.
The things to pay attention to in the example above are the placement of the

 and

 tags with respect to the
foreach loop.
- The

must happen before the loop is declared, so before the
- The

must happen inside the loop, but before any other HTML or content is output.
- The

happens inside the loop, but after all the other content is output.
- The

must come after the end of the loop block, to properly terminate the HTML unordered list element.
Nested Loops
If you understand everything I've talked about above, then nested loops should not really pose much of a problem for you. The HTML markup gets a little more complex, and you really need to remain focused and aware of where you are within the structure as you're writing your code. Good indentation practices will really help here, so don't be lazy! Indents are your friend when it comes to coding, especially as a beginner. Don't make your life harder than it needs to be by wimping out on hitting the Tab key one more time. It's really not that much extra work, and it pays big dividends every time.
The term "nested loop" means that while you're inside a loop, listing through some items, the item you're listing contains, itself, a list of items, which you need to loop through.
We can easily rewrite our book example to feature a nested loop. Here's the revised HTML structure:

The Lord of the Rings

Author: J.R.R. Tolkien

Publisher: Unwin and co.

Published Date: 1954

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Author: Dr. Seuss

Publisher: Random House

Published Date: 1957

The Year Without Pants

Author: Scott Berkum

Publisher: Jossey-Bass

Published Date: 2013

In this structure we have:
- an "Outer" list, which is an unordered list
- 3 list items, corresponding to the 3 books in our "database"
- For each of those list items, we have a nested unordered list
- which has 3 list items: author, publisher and published date.
Understanding and appropriating this HTML structure is critical if you want to move forward. Study it carefully, especially the parts which close off the list item or the list itself.
Also notice how the indenting is extremely helpful for grokking the structure. You can clearly see what items are contained within lists of their own. We're going to use the same indenting in our PHP code to help keep this clarity.
Let's work it out in plain language before attacking the code:
- Start with an outer UL
- For each book in our list:
- Output an LI
- Output an H1
- Output the title
- Start a new (inner) UL
- For each piece of book data (other than the title):
- Output an LI
- List the key (Author, Publisher or Published Date)
- Output a colon and a space (": ")
- Output the value
- Close the LI
- Close the UL
- Close the LI
- Close the outer UL
You should be able to work this out yourself. I strongly encourage you to do so, because it's by doing that you learn. Use the code below to check your work.
// Still using the $books array from the previous example
// Start the outer list
echo "
";
// Loop through our books, as we did before
foreach( $books as $book ){
// Start the list item
echo "
";
// And do the title as before
echo "
";
echo $book['title'];
echo "
";
// Now, the inner loop
echo "
";
// We should indent to help us keep our code straight
echo "
";
echo "Author: ", $book['author'];
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo "Publisher: ", $book['publisher'];
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo "Published Date: ", $book['published_date'];
echo "
";
// Close off this list
echo "
";
// This whole list is inside the "book" list item, so close that too
echo "
";
// Outside the loop, close off our outer unordered list
echo "
";
There are some optimizations we could do. For example, hard-coding the inner loop is not only a pain, but also means that if the data ever changes (like we add a new data point such as "price"), we have to rewrite our code to include the new data item. Take a look at this first attempt at replacing the hard-coded inner loop with another
foreach inner loop:
echo "
";
foreach( $books as $book ){
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo $book['title'];
echo "
";
// Now, the inner loop
echo "
";
// Loop through each of the data items within the $book record.
foreach ( $book as $key => $value ){
// The only trick here is that we have to avoid re-outputting the title,
// since we already did that earlier. So we need to check that the current
// key is not the title. If it is, we skip outputting it entirely and
// move on to the next key in the loop.
if ( 'title' != $key ){
echo "
";
echo $key, ": ", $value;
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo "
";
This is pretty cool, and saves some manual coding. The output isn't quite as nice since the
$key is being output directly. We can solve this with a little string manipulation:
echo "
";
foreach( $books as $book ){
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo $book['title'];
echo "
";
echo "
";
foreach ( $book as $key => $value ){
if ( 'title' != $key ){
// Replace underscores with regular spaces
// and then make the first letter of each word upper case.
$pretty_key = ucwords( str_replace( "_", " ", $key ) );
echo "
";
echo $pretty_key, ": ", $value;
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo "
";
echo "
";
I hope this has helped demystify the "mashup" of HTML markup and PHP output. As you work through your own programming challenges remember:
- Be sure you comprehend the appropriate HTML structure first before trying to add PHP
- Take the time to understand the sequence of HTML and PHP output
- Decide how you want to mix HTML in with your PHP: the echo all the things approach or the HTML as HTML approach.
- Pay close attention to loops, especially where list elements and list items are concerned.
- Check your work using view source because your browser may lie to you (trying to be helpful).

FACTS & STATS: Site: HP Field House (5,000) -- Orlando, Florida. Television: ESPN 2. Home Record: OSU 4-0, Memphis 2-0. Away Record: OSU 1-0, Memphis 0-1. Neutral Record: OSU 2-0, Memphis 2-0. Conference Record: OSU 0-0, Memphis 0-0. Series Record: Oklahoma State leads, 4-2.
GAME NOTES: The Old Spice Classic went according to the chalk, as the fifth- ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys and the 21st-ranked Memphis Tigers will meet up in the championship bout on Sunday night at HP Field House.
These teams met earlier in the season as a non-bracketed game for this event, and Oklahoma State made easy work of the Tigers at Gallagher-Iba Arena on Nov. 19, 101-80, behind a career-high 39 points from Marcus Smart. The Cowboys now lead the all-time series, 4-2.
After taking down Purdue in the opening round (97-87), the Cowboys had a much more difficult task in the semifinals, as Butler overcame a 16-point deficit to bring the game within one. However, after Khyle Marshall missed two free throws with nine seconds left, Oklahoma State escaped with a 69-67 win to remain perfect on the season at 7-0.
Memphis' one loss to OSU aside, it has otherwise been flawless at 4-1. The Tigers dismissed Siena in Thursday's opening round, 87-60, and followed that up with a 76-69 triumph over LSU on Friday, overcoming a late deficit by finishing the game on a 16-7 run.
Oklahoma State had a strong shooting day in its semifinal-round contest with Butler, making 50 percent from the field, but it was only 4-of-15 from 3-point range and nearly cost itself with a 1-of-5 free-throw shooting effort in the second half. Despite committing five turnovers, Smart was still outstanding as usual with 17 points, eight rebounds and two steals. Le'Bryan Nash put up 15 points, while Kamari Murphy tallied 10 points and eight rebounds off the bench. The 69-point effort was a disappointing one for the Cowboys, who ranked second in the nation in posting 95.3 points per game on 51.6 percent field goal shooting and a +28.7 scoring margin. Smart is living up to his billing as a preseason First Team All-American with 21.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.3 steals per game. Markel Brown (17.9 ppg) is an outstanding second option, as he drains 50 percent of his 3-point tries (16-of-32). Nash (13.1 ppg, 6.4 rpg), Phil Forte (12.9 ppg) and Brian Williams (10.9 ppg) are all integral pieces to the puzzle as well.
The Tigers were outshot from the field by LSU the last time out, 56.6 percent to 45.3 percent, but they made their mark in the takeaway battle by forcing 24 turnovers, while committing just 10 themselves, and they scored 33 points off of those miscues. Austin Nichols paced the effort with a strong showing in the frontcourt, putting up 19 points and eight rebounds. Chris Crawford scored 17 points on 3-of-7 from 3-point range, while Joe Jackson registered 16 points, seven rebounds and four steals. While Memphis may not be having as dominant a season as OSU, it is still playing excellent basketball on both ends of the floor with positive margins in scoring (+15.6), rebounding (+3.2) and turnovers (+6.6). Jackson is the senior leader for the young squad and brings 14.8 points per game to the table. Nichols' (12.8 ppg, 6.0 rpg) freshman campaign has gotten off to a strong start, while Michael Dixon Jr. (11.2 ppg), Nick King (11.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg), Shaq Goodwin (10.8 ppg, 5.8 rpg) and Crawford (9.0 ppg) are all regular contributors as well.
Although Oklahoma State held the upper hand a few weeks back, things are expected to be more even this time around on a neutral floor. Though both teams possess deep benches and strong all-around play, the Cowboys boast the game's best player in Smart, and his presence will be enough to lift them to the championship.
