uh,
while I agree that including your html is definitely the way to go, you
_must_ mix php with html to a certain extent, assuming you're actually doing
anything interesting like talking to a database.
if you're _only_ including files (i.e. using php as a replacement for SSI) I
guess that would work.
but, so long as the php code is _extremely_ light, and the logic is stored
elsewhere, sounds good to me :)
definitely avoid print() and echo like the _plague_ for html output.
