Always separate your PHP and HTML. Then use an include statement to output the HTML.

Write the html in a separate file, then have the php read it, modify it where necessary and output it. Mixing html and php in one file is asking for trouble.

You can create your own function in a different PHP file, or in the same file you want to show the profile in.
Then call it in like so:
Homemade functions are your friend
<?php
function ShowProfile()
{
echo'<p>Name: $name</p>
<p>Age: $age</p>
blah blah
Profile picture:<img src="$image">';
}
?>
Then call it in like so:
<body> <?php ShowProfile(); ?> </body>
Homemade functions are your friend

@: Really not good practice to embed the PHP in your HTML like that.
@: You can use the file_get_contents() function to read in the HTML, or an include statement if you don't need to modify the HTML.

Mixing languages is almost never a good idea. I mean, sie können Sprachen alle mischen, die Sie mögen, but who's going to read it? Probably not even you after you've been away from it for a while.

You shouldn't be including the PHP in the HTML. Quite the opposite. Treat the PHP as the code you are working with, and the HTML as plaintext to output.

This is why I think beginners should learn another language like C/C++ before starting with php. Those languages don't let you mix output with code, so they require you to do things the proper way. PHP gives you plenty of rope to hang yourself with.

Honestly, I don't know what you mean by template. From a php perspective every html file is a template.
As for linking them, you don't, at least not in the sense that you do with C/C++. HTML is simply data to be manipulated, like any text file. Read it in, make your changes, and then send it to the browser. If you don't need to make changes to it, send it to the browser directly by using an include.
Code separation is important whether if you're using MVC or not. MVC requires it, but all code needs it.

Myself i prefer something like this.
<?php
require_once("template.php");
$template = new template("template.html");
$template->set_tag("tag", "whatever i want here!"); // Replaces {tag} from the html template file.
$template->set_tag("tag2", "More stuff in another place!");
$template->replace_tags();
$template->output();
?>
