How do i execute multiple lines of PHP code in blade? [duplicate]

Question

I have the following 2 lines of code in my blade template:

<p>
    <?php preg_match('/<p>(.*?)<\/p>/i' , $recent->blog_content , $matches) ?>
    {!! str_limit($matches[0] , 50 , '...') !!}
</p>

Now how do i write the first like of code I.E. the below line of code:

<?php preg_match('/<p>(.*?)<\/p>/i' , $recent->blog_content , $matches) ?>

In blade as both the below two syntaxs , outputs the result to the frontEnd instead of execute my code:

{{ preg_match('/<p>(.*?)<\/p>/i' , $recent->blog_content , $matches) }}


{!! preg_match('/<p>(.*?)<\/p>/i' , $recent->blog_content , $matches) !!}

Basically how do i execute multiple lines of PHP code in blade ?

i havent used this "blade" thing, but a ";" between instructions is not enought? try it. — Ricardo Ortega Magaña

It is bad idea to use php code inside blade template.. Instead you can process data into controller and then pass it to blade. Blade is not meant to process data. — Vaibhav Malve

are you wanted to print both two lines or there is any condition. — Jyoti mishra

You can use the Blade @php directive to execute a block of plain PHP within your template:

@php
    $counter = 1;
@endphp
