How to implement foreach loop in echo in php [duplicate]

Question

This is my code:

<div class="col-xs-6">
  <div class="form-group">
    <label><i class="fa fa-asterisk text-danger"></i> Country</label>
    <select class="form-control select2" id="countryId" name="countryId">
    <option value="0">Select Country</option>
      <?php
        if(!empty($country))
        {
          foreach ($country as $record)
          {
              ?>
              <option value="<?php echo $record->id ?>"><?php echo $record->countryName ?></option>
              <?php
          }
        }
      ?>
    </select>
  </div>
</div>

This is my trying (Not successful):

echo '
<div class="col-xs-6">
  <div class="form-group">
    <label>'.(($required<>'0')?'<i class="fa fa-asterisk text-danger"></i>':"").' '.$friendlyName.'</label>
    <select '.(($readonly<>'0')?'readonly':"").' '.(($disabled<>'0')?'disabled':"").' class="form-control select2 '.$columnClass.'" id="'.$columnId.'" name="'.$columnName.'">
      <option value="0">Select Country</option>'.
        if(!empty($country))
        {
          foreach ($country as $record)
          {
              .'<option value="$record->id">$record->countryName</option>'.
          }
        }
    .'</select>
  </div>
</div>
';

When i run echo code it gives me this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'if' (T_IF)

How do I echo this block of html and php including foreach loop.

Don't echo it. Just have it outside of a PHP block (<?php ... ?>). The actual PHP within it is already surrounded by these tags. — Jeto

I tried other way:

$html = '
<div class="col-xs-6">
  <div class="form-group">
  <label>'.(($required<>'0')?'<i class="fa fa-asterisk text-danger"></i>':"").' '.$friendlyName.'</label>
  <select '.(($readonly<>'0')?'readonly':"").' '.(($disabled<>'0')?'disabled':"").' class="form-control select2 '.$columnClass.'" id="'.$columnId.'" name="'.$columnName.'">
    <option value="0">Select Country</option>';
      if(!empty($country))
      {
      foreach ($country as $record)
        {
          $html .= '<option value="'.$record->id.'">'.$record->countryName.'</option>';
        }
      }
$html .= '</select>
    </div>
  </div>
';
echo $html;

Hello. Did you read my comment above?

Danial212k Over a year ago

yes but I asked if there is any way to echo that all code.

echo is just sending stuff to the output. By having the HTML directly in the file, it does exactly the same thing (outputs it). There seems to be no point in using echo in your case, you could just paste it somewhere and get the same result.

Instead of echoing as string loop each item by using <?php foreach(): ?>

Try this:

<div class="col-xs-6">
  <div class="form-group">
    <label><i class="fa fa-asterisk text-danger"></i> Country</label>
    <select class="form-control select2" id="countryId" name="countryId">
    <option value="0">Select Country</option>
      <?php if(!empty($country): ?>
          <?php foreach ($country as $record): ?>

            <option value="<?php echo $record->id ?>">
               <?php echo $record->countryName ?>
            </option>

          <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
   </select>
  </div>
</div>
