Well, sometimes (IMHO), the better way to keep things readable is to include() things, such as include "page_header.php" , include "lateral_links.php" , include "page_footer.php" , and so on... Damn, my pages look so professional including everything... the final client-side html page is huge but the main PHP is so simple and structured... And, what i was going to say, if you wanna mix HTML and PHP code, perhaps the way you want is to include(), print() and echo() all the HTML and let everything in PHP code... Of course, i'm meaning of including() HTML files (without any PHP code).
