Now, how is the user supposed to place other <HEAD> tags such as
<TITLE>, <SCRIPT> and <LINK>? The answer is, he can't. And while he
*could* put a readfile() in there, it would be no different than placing
the tags directly in the file. He couldn't customize the tags to the page.
While what you say *could* be used - it would result in a seriously
broken site with the inability to add such tags.
Also, there would be no need to use printf() there. Just the HTML code
itself would be fine.
