But all the examples I've shown have been pieces, snippets for the sake of illustration. This chapter discusses how to integrate PHP into a Web site. It will help you decide whether to build a site completely with PHP, to sprinkle PHP throughout the site, or to simply create a few key PHP-driven pages. It also discusses issues involved in using PHP to generate HTML.
