how to mix html and php?

I started using PHP HereDoc strings and it greatly simplifies mixing PHP and HTML. PHP also has NowDoc strings but I very seldom use that syntax.

Plain variables are expanded within the HereDoc syntax but arrays and expressions must be enclosed in curly braces without spaces. For example

Code:

//========================
// usage:
// fred($string_array_object);
//========================
function debug($val)
{
$val= print_r($val,true);
$sty = ‘width:88%; margin:2rem auto: background-color: snow; color:#000;’:

// NOTHING FOLLOWS ____BLOCK
echo $tmp = <<< ____BLOCK
  <div style=‘$sty’>
$val
</div>
____BLOCK;
// NOTHING AFTER ;
}// endfunc
