Separating Code from Content

[xav0989]

I've seen some tutorials, some programs, etc. that mix up content (html in this case) and code (php here). For instance, they would start an IF clause, close the php tags, put in some html, reopen the php tags and close the IF block.
I find this practice bad, because the code and the content are embedded into each other. Here is my call:

If you want to generate all the html from server-side code, output it normally, but if you want to separate the code, the content (, etc.), then use a templating system, or create one.

What's your call.

If I understand what you are asking, I have my content and code on different pages and then use more code, primarily php includes and the like, to combine them in certain orders to make my different pages.

Is that what you are asking, or am I missing something?
