Is it bad practice to echo out a bunch of HTML using a function in php and having it something like this:
function my_function() {
global $post;
$custom_fields = get_post_custom();
$some_field = $custom_fields ['some_field'][0];
?>
<div class="something <?php if ($some_field) { echo $special-clas;} ?>">
<div class="something-else">
/* bunch more of html code */
</div>
</div>
}
And then in the page where you want to use that to echo it?
<html>
<body>
.....
....
<?php echo my_function(); ?>
....
I'm unsure how "accepted" it is to echo out functions?
