Best way to place data in the view (MVC)

[UnDyInG]

In the framework I am working with, if I want to present data in a view I do this:\[code\]<h1><?php echo $this->header ?></h1>\[/code\]Recently I discovered xTemplate and noticed it uses string placeholders, so the above code in a xTemplate would be:\[code\]<h1>{HEADER}</h1>\[/code\]I always thought that a little php in the view was ok and was also faster than doing a str_replace, but I have recently started working with a designer and I think lot's of php tags in the html might confuse him.I would like to know your thoughts on this subject.Thanks.Note: This might be subjective but I really want to find out the best way or at least know all the pros and cons of both of these approaches.
