Thanks Stuart!
So for clarity's sake jumping into and out of PHP parsing mode to echo a var 
isn't going to do as great a performance hit as these naysayers would have 
me believe.  Good.  I like the color coding of my html in my editor that is 
lost when I have to quote it to get it to echo/print properly!
