It highly depends, and there is no easy answer. I usually break out of php
for large blocks, and stay inside for small bits.

However, the reason I post;
1. <?=$imgsrc?> is a Bad Thing
It can work, no question about that, but always try to use a proper
<?php echo ''; ?>.

2. print("<img src=\"".$imgsrc."\">");
Better would be either print("<img src=\"{$imgsrc}\">"); or print('<img
src="'.$imgsrc.'">');
