Hi,
Your suggestion borders the MVC design pattern, which I've used
within flash, groovy. Also, the following document illustrated an
interesting solution, what are your thoughts?
7. Print form elements' defaults with helper functions.

This is returned to the browser:
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /Users/chris/Sites/
php/oop/class.calculator.php on line 20"
Your buildInt() function jumps directly from PHP into HTML output,
without first closing the currently open PHP tag. It needs to be:
private function buildInt()
{
?>
<!--Script 10.1- calculator.php-->
.. blah blah ..
<?php
}
The approach you are taking for this is going to cause you
headaches in the future. I would strongly recommend that you make
your class file do one of two things:
1) ECHO out the HTML, rather than dropping in and out of PHP. It
gets real messy, real quick, especially when embedded in class files.
2) Build-up the HTML into a string and return it back to the
calling PHP script, which can then echo it as required. I.e capture
the output of your class, don't let the class itself ever output
anything. (i.e. start to separate the presentation from the logic,
if only mildly in this case)
Cheers,
Rich
