HTML into PHP Variable (HTML outside PHP code)

output-buffering, php

Solution

Have you tried "output buffering"?

<?php
 ...
 ob_start();
?>

<html>
   <head>...</head>
   <body>...<?php echo $another_variable ?></body>
</html>

<?php
 $variable = ob_get_clean();
 ...
?>

Problem

I am new to php and wondering if I can have something like this: ``` <?php ... magicFunctionStart(); ?> <html> <head>...</head> <body>...</body> </html> <?php $variable = magicFunctionEnd(); ... ?> ``` What I have to use right now is ``` <?php ... $variable = "<html><head>...</head><body>...</body></html>" ?> ``` Which is annoying and not readable.
