I've been looking for some guidelines on how to layout PHP code. I've found some good references, such as the following:
http://www.dagbladet.no/development/phpcodingstandard/
and this question on SO.
However, none of that quite gets to what I'm specifically wondering about, which is the integration of HTML and PHP. For example:
echo's that just output a fixed bit of HTML, is it better to break out of PHP and just put in the HTML directly?There are probably other questions I'd like to ask, but really I'm looking for someone to point me at some kind of resource online that offers guidance on the general idea of how HTML and PHP should be combined together.

What are Coding Standards? Think of coding standards as a set of rules, techniques, and best practices to create cleaner, more readable, more efficient code with minimal errors. They offer a uniform format by which software engineers can use to build sophisticated and highly functional code.
The PHP Standard Recommendation (PSR) is a PHP specification published by the PHP Framework Interoperability Group (PHP-FIG). It serves the standardization of programming concepts in PHP. The aim is to enable interoperability of components. The PHP-FIG is formed by several PHP frameworks founders.
There are few guidelines which can be followed while coding in PHP. Indenting and Line Length − Use an indent of 4 spaces and don't use any tab because different computers use different setting for tab. It is recommended to keep lines at approximately 75-85 characters long for better code readability.
Combining programming code and output data (including HTML) is IMHO a very bad idea. Most of the PHP gurus I know use a template engine such as Smarty to help keep the two things separate.
