efficiency of code

[jackvull]

I tend to do a lot of this o my server side validation:
if ($inputboxname=="tel")
{
echo "
<td style='color:red; font-weight: bold;'>Tel:<br/><input type='text' name='tel' tabindex='10' value='".$tel."'

style='background-color:#FFFF99'> ";
}
else
{
echo "
<td>Tel:<br/><input type='text' name='tel' value='".$tel."' tabindex='10'

style='background-color:#FFFF99'> ";
}

Is there a better way of doing it as it makes the code extremely long when I have a form with say 10 input boxes, etc.

A loop maybe?

for ($i=1; $i<11; $i++)
{
if ($inputboxname=="tel")
{
echo "
<td style='color:red; font-weight: bold;'>Tel:<br/><input type='text' name='tel' tabindex='".$i."' value='".$tel."'

style='background-color:#FFFF99'> ";
}
else
{
echo "
<td>Tel:<br/><input type='text' name='tel' value='".$tel."' tabindex='".$i."'

style='background-color:#FFFF99'> ";
}
}
