What are some best practices for creating a dynamic website using PHP?

One best practice for creating a dynamic website using PHP is to separate your HTML code from your PHP code. This can be achieved by using a templating system like Smarty or simply by embedding PHP code within HTML using echo statements. This separation helps to keep your code organized and makes it easier to maintain and update.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome, <?php echo $username; ?>!</h1>
    <p><?php echo $content; ?></p>
</body>
</html>
