I just downloaded a php progam which I thought would help enhance my website a bit.
I'm a newbie at this php/ mysql stuff and when I looked through the program's code I was surprised to see that even the HTML was stored in the database as templates.
Is this a "normal" practise?
If I understand the code correctly, one page then requires several queries for the data and the html.
Is this efficient usage of the php/ mysql marriage?
If this is not normal what are the alternatives?
