Title Body

I do admit this question is going to be a bit vague, but I will try to explain what I'm trying to accomplish by a few examples. I have some PHP code that loads a bunch of variables from the MySQL database, contains some declarations, some functions to quickly output HTML code etc. However I would love to do all that stuff before anything is sent to the client. So I do: <?php include("somefile.inc"); function bla() { ... } if (fails) echo "Error: ...<br />"; ?> <!DOCTYPE> <html> <head> <script> ... <?php echo $someString; ?> ... </script> </head> <body> ... </body> </html> This is all fine and ok, until I get an error. The echo will not show in the browser because it's before all HTML... So I modified: <!DOCTYPE> <html> <head> <script> ... <?php echo $someString; ?> ... </script> </head> <body> <div class="error_block"> <?php include("somefile.inc"); function bla() { ... } if (fails) echo "Error: ...<br />"; ?> </div> ... </body> </html> Now I can actually see errors, which is good. But now the problem arises that in the header, or scrips, I cannot access variables that will be loaded later on in the newly created error_block. I really don't like splitting the code in the error_clock to some above the HTML document and some in the error_block. And I also don't want to use PHP's die() function which abrubtly ends the execution. Anyone can give their 2 cents on this issue? Thanks.
