that's kind of how I do it
<?
$this->add_head_item('<link href="/cascading_menu.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">');
$this->add_head_item('<link href="/cascading_menu_colours.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">');
$this->add_h1('useful links');
$this->add_anchor('plan 9 homepage',
array('href'=>'http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9', 'target'=>'_blank');

echo $this->get();
?>

and out  pops a valid, well formatted html document

I've added a few things to it over that last 6 months such that this site

http://www.bigchoicemobilephones.com

took about a week to build from scratch

the body content sits in a directory tree outside of the webspace & the
php pulls it all together
