How to refactor Php code inside a Laravel view blades - php

Question

I am trying to write some code inside a laravel blade as shown below
#can('identical_trademark_local_show')
#php
$trimmed_payment_id=Str::substr($Payment->payment_id,0,9);
if($trimmed_payment_id=='AlYAFI:IL')
{
<a class="btn btn-xs btn-primary" href="{{ route('admin.identical-trademark-locals.show', $Payment->id) }}">
trans('global.view')
</a>"
}
if($trimmed_payment_id=='AlYAFI:SL')
{
<a class="btn btn-xs btn-primary" href="{{ route('admin.similarlocals.show', $Payment->id) }}">
trans('global.view')
</a>
}
if($trimmed_payment_id=='AlYAFI:SI')
{
<a class="btn btn-xs btn-primary" href="{{ route('admin.similarinternationals.show', $Payment->id) }}">
trans('global.view')
</a>
}
#endphp
#endcan
The problem is that am getting a syntax error
syntax error, unexpected '<'

You can't use the mustache {{ }} symbol inside a #php block and you need to write your HTML code outside of your #php block
You'd be better off writing everything in blade syntax, one of the way to do it is as follow:
#can('identical_trademark_local_show')
#php
$trimmed_payment_id=Str::substr($Payment->payment_id,0,9);
#endphp
#if($trimmed_payment_id=='AlYAFI:IL')
<a class="btn btn-xs btn-primary" href="{{ route('admin.identical-trademark-locals.show', $Payment->id) }}">
trans('global.view')
</a>
#endif
#if($trimmed_payment_id=='AlYAFI:SL')
<a class="btn btn-xs btn-primary" href="{{ route('admin.similarlocals.show', $Payment->id) }}">
trans('global.view')
</a>
#endif
#if($trimmed_payment_id=='AlYAFI:SI')
<a class="btn btn-xs btn-primary" href="{{ route('admin.similarinternationals.show', $Payment->id) }}">
trans('global.view')
</a>
#endif
#endcan
NOTE
You should avoid the #php block and instead pass on the value from your controller.
