objects and separating presentation and logic

[7stud]

Hi,

I am trying to separate the php logic from the html presentation, and I need to echo an object's members in a table. What is the proper procedure, this:

main.php:
=============
<?php
include("Class_Object.php");
$object = new Object($x, $y, $z);
$object->multiply_members_by_two();

?>
.....
.....

<td><?echo $object->member1; ?></td>
=================================
Or, should I put the object creation and function call in a separate file like "multiply_by_two.php" and do this:

multiply_by_two.php:
==============
<?php
include("Class_Object.php");
$object = new Object($x, $y, $z);
$object->multiply_members_by_two();
?>
=================

main.php:
========
<?php
include("multiply_by_two.php");
?>
....
....
<td><?echo $object->member1; ?></td>
================================
With the latter method, the presentation file main.php is much cleaner, but I think the code is harder to follow because later on an object suddenly appears in a table, and it may not be clear where that came from.

If the object creation code is not big and not
scattered across a file a see no reason to put it to a separate file just for the sake of html purity , it's a case when
you do purity only for the sake of it
