I can imagine...
The PHP tutorial explains how you can do "really cool" things like this:
<?php if ($somecondition) { ?>
Lots of HTML here...
<?php } else { ?>
lots more HTML here...
<?php } ?>
Which... uh... well I can imagine it becoming messy quite fast.

Yeah, that seems more like the model to follow. (In fact, some of the
user comments I've seen suggest that all the "real code" should be in
include files instead and just called from the HTML pages.)
