Are there any way to use this alternative syntax?
<div class="lines-rates">
<?php foreach($info as $k => $v){ echo : ?>
<div><span>{$k}</span>{$v}</div><?php ; } ?>
</div><!-- #lines -->
I mean:
<?php echo : ?><p>this is your {$username} And this html code could be more than one line and sure other html elements also</p><?php endecho; ?>
So we can easily see html code.
I want to have html inside PHP. Not PHP inside html.
<?php echo '<p>this is your '.$username.' And this html code could be more than one line and sure other html elements also</p>'; ?>
It's definitely not the way that I want.
I'm using
<?php if($info) : ?>
<div class="lines-rates">
<?php foreach($info as $k => $v){ echo "<div><span>{$k}</span>{$v}</div>"; } ?>
</div><!-- #lines -->
<?php endif; ?>
I do not want to use html inside php.. Like
<?php echo "<div><span>{$k}</span>{$v}</div>";?>
Also following line is possible but this is too verbose for me - is it not? Why do I have to write <?php echo $k; ?> to echo simple variable?
<?php $if($info) : ?>
<h2>Weekly Charter Rates </h2>
<div class="lines-rates">
<?php foreach($info as $k => $v) : ?>
<div><span><?php echo $k; ?></span><?php echo $k; ?></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div><!-- #lines -->
<?php endif; ?>
I need clean and pure code as much as possible.
This type of writing again fails.
<?php foreach($info as $k => $v) : echo <<<EOT ?>
<p>this is your {$username}</p>
...
some more html
..<div><span>$k</span>$k</div>
<?php EOT; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
It was almost best way.

Answer 1

Use this:
<div class="lines-rates">
<?php foreach($info as $k => $v){?>
<div><span><?php echo $k; ?></span><?php echo $v; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
If you are using only two variable of PHP then no need to echo whole line, just echo those variables.

Answer 2

You can use Heredoc syntax
echo <<<EOT
<p>this is your {$username}</p>
...
some more html
..
EOT;
UPDATE
there must be no other content in the line of second "EOT". Quote from link I've given:
It is very important to note that the line with the closing identifier
must contain no other characters, except possibly a semicolon (;).
UPDATE 2
Change
<?php EOT; ?>
to
<?php
EOT;
?>
DO NOT IDENT SECOND LINE

Answer 3

You could use a templating language such as Twig. Example syntax:
<ul id="navigation">
{% for item in navigation %}
<li>{{ item.caption }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Answer 4

what about this
<?php echo '<p>this is your '.$username.' And this html code could be more than one line and sure other html elements also</p>'; ?>

Answer 5

If you're feeling really adventurous you can choose to enable short tags, but both Heredoc and templating engines like Twig mentioned above would be a better idea.
<p>this is your <?=$username;?> And this html code could be more than one line and sure other html elements also</p>

Answer 6

You can also make use of nowdoc
echo <<<'END_OF_HTML'
$hello this is {$a->test}
END_OF_HTML;
OUTPUT:
$hello this is {$a->test}
