The second option is probably the easiest way to do things. It will
make your documents easier to follow and debug too.
For example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello world"; ?>
</body>
</html>
Sometimes it is convenient to include HTML within PHP, for example:
[some PHP]
echo "<p>".$paragraph."</p>";
[more PHP]
IMO in this sort of case, where you want to just output a small amount
of HTML (<p> and </p>), it's easier to include it in an echo.
