If simple is what you want, then write your business logic into library files that you can include at the top of your source page. Then use functions which just output the content. As many will argue, PHP is a template engine in its own right, and for your simple purposes then it is probably perfect. Separation in this case just requires you keep your business logic in include files either as simple functiosn or as classes of related behaviour.
