What are the best practices for structuring HTML forms generated using PHP echo statements?

When structuring HTML forms generated using PHP echo statements, it is best practice to separate the HTML markup from the PHP logic for better readability and maintainability. One way to achieve this is by closing the PHP tags before the HTML form code and reopening them after the form code. 

<?php
// PHP logic here

?>

<!-- HTML form code here -->
<form action="process_form.php" method="POST">
  <label for="username">Username:</label>
  <input type="text" id="username" name="username">
  
  <label for="password">Password:</label>
  <input type="password" id="password" name="password">
  
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<?php
// More PHP logic here
?>
