Either way is just fine.
I like to put it all in ONE file for manageability
and to avoid spaghetti code.
In some cases, I use separate files to reduce server
load. For example, I'll have a static HTML page
that contains the form, and then it submits to a PHP
page to process the data. That way, even if a
zillion people view the form - only the ones who
actually submit it will use the additional server
load required to process PHP.
