This is an advocation of using a PHP based templating engine. The basic  
idea is that it isn't "mixed code"which is the problem, but "mixing  
application logic and presentation" is the problem; as you almost said  
yourself.

It basically says:

{$var} is really  <?=$var;?>

What do you think of this technique?

For me it equates to the "PHP in XHTML" solution.
