I am building a template from scratch and don't know the essential difference between:

<?php print $node->field_date_of_birth[0]['value'] ?> and
<?php print $node->field_date_of_birth[0]['view'] ?>

both give the same value. Is there any difference or should I keep to the default which is:

<?php foreach ((array)$field_date_of_birth as $item) { ?>
      <div class="field-item"><?php print $item['view'] ?></div>
    <?php } ?>

I'm sure someone else could give you a technical explanation, but I've noticed that one of these translates html tags within the data literally and the other does not. Apologies that I don't remember which is which off the top of my head, but it's simple enough to test.

Hi esllou

value is the plain value and
view is the filtered value (e.g. Line break converter)
