I am developing some code for my School Website and I have a long php file. I need to echo html and in that I need to include php like so.

  echo '<p>. $url . </p>';

This seems to be working small amounts of Html Code but does not work with a lot of html code. Can someone please help me?

    Please define "a lot" and "does not work". What exactly is the limit you have found, and what exactly happens when you exceed it? – ADyson Jun 29 '20 at 18:44
  • Single quotes will not process variables inside, and this is not how you concatenate strings. – aynber Jun 29 '20 at 18:44
  • A lot as in 317 lines of code. Should I post it? By Does not work I mean it shows blank. – Navvye Jun 29 '20 at 18:45
  • @aynber Can you please demonstrate? – Navvye Jun 29 '20 at 18:45

    A little bit of basics helps you a long way: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.string.php – Markus AO Jun 29 '20 at 18:46

    Something to consider if you start to want to separate the PHP and HTML (sort of) would to be look at some template engines -https://stackoverflow.com/questions/197466/whats-a-good-templating-system-for-php – Nigel Ren Jun 29 '20 at 18:51
  • Can you show the opening PHP tag? In your [comment](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62644708/trouble-with-php-inside-html-inside-php-extended-version#comment-110782813) below, it appears that you're using `short_tags` which is discouraged but also disabled on some setups. I think it may even be removed in PHP 7+. This could account for why you're not seeing anything on screen. It's possible the PHP isn't even processing... – War10ck Jun 29 '20 at 18:52

Try like that !

 echo '<p>'.$url.'</p>';

you must enclose text before and after a variable 'text'.$var.'text'; and thats goes for concatenate variables on variables to

Inside the single quotes php variables treats as a text not like variables, so if you want to use your php variable with html tags you can either enclosed it with double quotes like below

  echo "<p> $url </p>";

Or you can concatenate php variable with strings or html tags

//with single quotes
echo '<p>'. $url . '</p>';
//With double quotes
echo "<p>". $url . "</p>";

May this will help you.
Happy Coding!
