I find code easier to read if it is almost entirely PHP or almost entirely
HTML. Therefore, large blocks of static HTML with little or no dynamic
content will use html:
// php code goes here....
?>
<h1>Welcome to the Wizard!</h1>
<p>Welcome, <?=$user_id?>, to our wizard, we hope
that you will find it easy to use, and all
of that nonsense.
<?php
// ...more php code
However, if I am stringing together text that is more variables than static,
it tends to look better and be easier to read if it is a list of PHP
commands:
$row=SQL_OneRow("Select * from customers...")
echo "Hello ".$row['user_id'];
echo ", I see you are from ".$row['city'];
echo ", and that you have ".$row['eyecolor']." eyes";
