Are you familiar with classes? Personally i keep files that do different things separate. How do you plan to create the form - procedural code or by directly echoing html fragments via php (i.e echo '<form action="" method="" >';)

yes i am familiar with classes.
well forms i create them directly in html and after i send the info in a other php file to process it but i don`t know if this is the best method to do.
Is it better to create forms in php in echo?

If the forms are static then the current method you are using is good, stick with it for now
There are developers who advocate using php to generate html while others advise against it; imo it is good to evaluate what is required of the situation and proceed according to that.
Below are two urls that shows the different approaches.
