I find that excessive use of <? And ?> in my code gets distracting so if I need a lot of php code I will usually put the straight html into echo/print strings. If I'm doing something that is predominantly html with only a few php variables or some such then I'll do it mostly in html. Often if there's just a php code block I'll move it into an include and then just include it in normal html. This helps readability and lets me separate some of the layout aspects from the code logic aspects. In the end if it's valid it will work. My only real decision is based on readability for my own purposes. CYA, Dave
