Not to beat this to death completely, but you can often use the php script 
end and start tags as inverted quotes so that:

print ('<a href="' . $url . '">This link</a>');

becomes:

?><a href="<?=$url?>">This link</a><?php

This has a big added advantage if you (or someone else on your team) work(s) 
with the code in dreamweaver.  The print statement would hide its content 
from dreamweaver, whereas dreamweaver can see the content in the second 
example just fine.  For a simple link it may not matter, but for things like 
table tags it matters a lot; it can mean the difference of being able to work 
with the page in a visual editor versus not.
