Printing and Outputting data

[Cynthia]

Hi all,

I have looked through the online manual and haven't found a way to format data from either a form or
data that was retrieved from a database. I would like to provide an "elegant" printout to my users
and I heard (when I didn't need to use it) somewhere that such a function existed.

....or is HTML the way to go using Javascript?

In my PHP sites I use a MySQL database for data storage and retrieval, and a
template engine for the output (smarty.php.net is my preferred engine du
jour) - separating logic from presentation is most important. You can mix
JavaScript in with your output if you see the need.
