I disagree, however, I do believe attention should be drawn to reasons
why doing so might be considered bad practice.
1. your looping a result set which involves a db connection - lots
of pontential things that could go wrong...
2. its not a centralized 'solution' - code reuse is a good thing.
3. we should encourage people to aim a little higher?
Even the longest journeys start with small steps, and asking someone new
to PHP to separate various tiers might put them off.
which I could spin as a positive thing - raising the lowest commom denominator
so to speak. besides Sue was the one that came with the many-in-one question
(i.e. how to a dynamically generate a select box AND how do I grab data from
a DB).
