I'm a fan of dropping out of PHP to output static
html/js etc. This is especially good practice when you
have large blocks of html/etc. 

i.e.

form name=Test_Form
?
  $test1 = The kid's name is \Bob!\;
  $test1 = addslashes($test1);
?
  input type='hidden' name='htmlTest1' 
value='?=$test1?'
  script type='text/javascript'
alert(document.Test_Form.htmlTest1.value);
  /script
/form


I prefer using single quotes when assign string
values. PHP doesn't have to evaluate inside single
quotes. 
It's much easier to edit/add/read html code that's not
polluted with escaped quotes
Syntax highlighting makes it easier to spot
variables

$bob_age = time() - $birthday_timestamp;
$test1 = 'The kid's name is Bob!';
$test2 = 'He is '.$bob_age.' seconds old';
