In the context of the forum thread, what are the implications of mixing PHP code with HTML output, and how can this practice be improved?

Mixing PHP code with HTML output can lead to messy and hard-to-maintain code. To improve this practice, it's recommended to separate the PHP logic from the HTML markup by using PHP templates or frameworks like Laravel or Symfony. 

<?php
// Using PHP templates to separate logic from markup
$variable = "Hello World!";
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>PHP Template Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1><?php echo $variable; ?></h1>
</body>
</html>
