PHP - To echo or not to echo?

Question

What is more efficient and/or what is better practice, to echo the HTML or have many open and close php tags?

Obviously for big areas of HTML it is sensible

Answer 1

PHP solves this problem by what is known as heredocs. Check it out please.

Example:

  echo <<{$k}s
  {$v}/kg
EOD;

Note: The heredoc identifer (EOD in this example) must not have any spaces or indentation.
