I have a PHP function that I’m using to output a standard block of HTML. It currently looks like this: 

<?php function TestBlockHTML ($replStr) { ?>     <html>     <body><h1> <?php echo ($replStr) ?> </h1>     </html> <?php } ?>

I want to return (rather than echo) the HTML inside the function. Is there any way to do this without building up the HTML (above) in a string?

  1. You can use a heredoc, which supports variable interpolation, making it look fairly neat:

    function TestBlockHTML ($replStr) { return <<<HTML     <html>     <body><h1>{$replStr}</h1>     </body>     </html> HTML; }

    Pay close attention to the warning in the manual though – the closing line must not contain any whitespace, so can’t be indented.
