 ==Place PHP tags and Echo the whole thing==
-Place an "echo" statement at the top and close the echo statement at the end. Note the beginning and ending PHP tags will NOT be copied into the template code - I only place them in my editor so that it activates the color coding for the PHP code:
+Place an "echo" statement at the top and close the echo statement at the end
 <source lang="php">
 // start echo
 echo "

 Only request the minimum number of functions, and fields within functions, necessary to support the template to ensure optimal performance.
-Many functions are dependent on the existence of other objects in order to write the function. For instance, the eC::pageZoneGet() function requires the entry of a zoneId - the zone needs to created in banner management before the ID exists, therefore you may need to create the banner zones before you can write the functions in your template code.
