My personal preference depends on how much of what is being dumped. If it's a really simple page, then do it in line, I tend to indent it as a seperate tree to the php code (ie there are two staggers).
However if it's a longer page or includes loads of javascript or dynamically built tables etc, then I tend to keep the html in another file wrapped up as php functions with a UI_ prefix. This does make it a bit slower (calling loads of functions), but the maintenance is loads easier and it leaves the main code tree legible!
All down to personal preference though. The only hard and fast rule is to keep it consistent and comment well so that when you pick it up again a few months down the line you can still maintain it!
eg <? include "...../...displayFunctions.php"; nest1 ... nest2 UI_tableRow($arrayOfElements); more nest2 code UI_tableEnd; more nest1 code ... ?>

But what I'm really wanting to get everyones thoughts about is in regard to combining PHP with HTML.
I used to do:
<?php echo "blah"; ?><h1>test</h1><?php echo "blah"; ?>
but just tried
<?php
echo 'blah';
echo '<h1>test</h1>';
echo 'blah';
?>
