Something to consider: the code above shows tightly bound UI and 
business logic.  Personally, I'd prefer logic wherein the business logic 
simply returns an array of data structures.  A middle layer would then 
transport that information to the UI.  That way, your business logic is 
UI independent, and you can use the same business logic to either 
generate HTML or send a formatted string (e.g., JSON) to a rich client 
or send a SOAP message to an external consumer.

That way, you write the code once and reuse it.
