There’s nothing wrong with having PHP in your views. I use PHP in my views all the time for things like looping through arrays and creating ordered lists, etc. IMO, MVC is not about separating HTML from PHP, it’s about separating business logic and display logic.
There are many different interpretations and implementations of MVC, so some people will disagree with me, and that’s fine. Decide how you want to use MVC and be consistent throughout your project.
