PHP & HTMl Mix in a PHP $Var

Question

Mixing html and php is simple:

<? while($row): ?>
    <p><?=$row['name'] ?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>

But how could i store html like this into a php variable? (Purposed syntax, but doesn't work)

<? $html = ?>
    <p>My HTML!!</p>
<? ; ?>

This is how:

$html = <<< HTML
    <p>My HTML!!</p>
HTML;

That is know as php heredoc

Note: You should place closing heredoc keyword without any spaces or indentation.

You could use the heredoc syntax when declaring the string:

<?php
    $html = <<<HTML
    <p>My HTML!!</p>
HTML;
?>

This treats anything between the start <<<HTML (HTML is the identifier) and the end HTML as a string. Note that the closing identifier must be the first in a new line without any indention.
