Well you said it...for my example it makes sense. For when it gets

messy by all means concatenate with php. However, my argument is
not so much
keeping html seperate from php as it is keeping the business logic
separate
from the presentation....so if you have php writing html and its
all dealing
with the presentation...I personally don't think its a problem.
However when
you start writing html out with php in your business logic...to me
that's a
no no.

I would argue it is better practice as:
<h1><?php echo 'Hello World'; ?></h1>
than
<?php
echo "<h1>Hello World</h1>";

is probably going to give you the result you want. However you
should
know
it is bad practice to mix PHP and HTML as horridly as I just
showed
you.
AKA
you don't want your PHP writing your HTML.

Anthony:
Granted, the example you gave was a bit mixed, but it's
perfectly Okay
to
have php write html. In fact, if you think about it that's the
only way
php
can express itself to the user. A simple echo($var) is writing
html to
a
browser.
Good practice should to write code (i.e., php, mysql, css, html,
js)
that
is semantic and compliant with standards. Mixing them well is
almost an
art
form that observes best practices in all.
Cheers,

Why?! As you've seen, it can get awfully messy very quickly...

I largely tend towards using heredoc syntax wherever possible, as it
lets you separate the PHP and HTML in the way you want, yet still
allows
you to have variable output inside the HTML. I hate repetitious
breaking
out of HTML code just to output a variable or two.
