Quick and easy? Easy is what you know.
I am at times still shocked to see how popular CMSs written in PHP mix up HTML and PHP.
This is generally unmaintainable, un-designable.
For quick, go with the echo style proposed.
For the heavier lifting use a template system, once you know it it will be very easy.
This will help you separate code / application logic, and design.
Template systems produce in the end scripts with a mix of PHP and HTML, but this is
not the level you work on. And you can give your templates to a designer.
I am quite happy with Smarty 3.
