O.K., but what would this look like?

echo "<tr><td>$name</td><td>$date</td><td>$status</td><td>$r</td></tr>";

You'd end up with 

print  '<tr><td>' . $name . '</td><td>' . $date . '</td><td>' . $status
. '</td><td>' . $r . '</td></tr>";

After a while, concantenation becomes too long and unreadable.  The
first line is simpler.

kind regards,
