Why make PHP work harder than it needs to?

Good evening.

I'm probably going to stir up a hornet's nest but have a question.

Does using echo for ALL html pages mean I have a sick mind? Example:

        echo CR, '<HTML>',
          CR, '  <BODY>',
             CR, ' etc...';

        I like the look. It's more readable, gives me a better view of variables as
they are all single-quoted and stand out nicely in my editor. No messy
jumping into and out of php. I have looked at a bunch of php code written by
others and HEREDOC looks stupid with everything jammed against the left side
of the screen, php tags within HTML breaks up the flow of properly formatted
HTML, which I firmly require for all of my code, and just doesn't look
right. 'print' makes you add \" to all of the HTML attributes but the 'echo'
method makes everything look like php! Since all your doing is dumping text
to the output subsystem, there shouldn't be any speed decrease in the code.

        Yes, I know, there are advocates for every kind of method to display HTML
code but just wanting to get others opinions on the subject. If you wish,
email me off-list @ sparkyk-AT-blackmesa-isp.net.

Cheers!
