Ideally speaking, any file that spits out html should have an .html
extension, as when the client sees it, it's HTML (regardless of how it was
created). As others have pointed out, that will require a minor change in
your server's configuration, but yields more professional results.
Personally, I use a templating toolkit (I wrote my own), which handily
seperates HTML from PHP entirely. Having them both in the same file is
terrible from a production standpoint.
