I'd say it is all down to which predominates ... some of my pages are
purely HTML so they need no PHP. Others might just need a small bit of
database-derived information or some constants or included blocks etc
so i have the HTML surrounding one or two small <?php ... ?> areas.
But if the page is basically all includes and logic or data-derived
areas then i'd start with a <?php and finish with ?> and then echo
the HTML inside.
Basically, I agree with one of the other posters - avoid jumping in
and out of PHP because it makes the code very hard to follow and debug
later. Also, it's as much as anything down to readability and
presenting an intuitive source-code - so think of the person following
on from you who has to maintain the site - or even yourself a year on.
Put in plenty of comments describing what the script should do over
all - and then in more detail before major sections describing perhaps
why you chose to do the code in such a way.
