How can PHP beginners ensure proper HTML and PHP separation for better code organization?

To ensure proper separation of HTML and PHP in your code, beginners can use PHP's alternative syntax for control structures like if statements and loops. This helps to keep the HTML markup separate from the PHP logic, making the code easier to read and maintain.

<?php if ($condition): ?>
    <div>
        <p>This is HTML content with PHP logic embedded using alternative syntax.</p>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>
