In views use <?php echo $title; ?> or <?=$title?> ?

As juanvillegas already said having differnt php styles in one file/project - brings mess to the code.

This looks very nice

Code:

&lt;?=isset($alabala)?'<div>'.$alabala.'</div>':''?&gt;

but when you have a more complex statement this is getting ugly. So you have to mix statement syntax.
On the other hand I try not to write html tags in php strings e.g. '<div>'.$alabala ...

So I generally prefer the one that perhaps most of you do not like:

Code:

<?php
if(isset($alabala))
{
?>
   <div>&lt;?php echo $alabala; ?&gt;</div>
&lt;?php } ?&gt;

Note here that I do NOT write

Code:

<?php if(isset($alabala)) { ?>

because it is easy to miss that '{' or erase by mistake.
