can php loops be continued throughout html

[Advo]

I'm redoing some ASP pages into php, asp pages have things like:

A loop if something then

//show some html code

another loop, if something

//show some more code.

Can this be done in php?

so that i could do:

<?php
If $_SESSION['logon'] == "true" Then {
?>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" ...

and so forth?

Cheers

Certainly.

<?php for ($i=0; $i<100; ++$i) { ?>
value of $i is <i><?=$i?></i>.
<?php } ?>

or

<?php
for ($i=0; $i<100; ++$i) {
print("<td><fon t color=red>$i</font></td>\n");
}
?>

<?php
for ($i=0; $i<100; ++$i) {
$s = vsprintf('%3d </font%4.2f",arra y($i,$i/7));
print("<td><fon t color=red>$s</td>\n");
}
?>

I've never understood the aversion to the <?= construct in PHP. One of the
appeals of PHP is that I can write full PHP modules for the processing, and
HTML with <?= escapes for the presentation side. It's like having a
built-in templating engine.

If I have to write everything out in PHP code, I might as well use a more
sopisticated language.

Because it requires short tags to be enabled, which can conflict with
other languages. For instance, xml uses <?xml to indicate an xml block.
And with short tags on, this would be detected as the start of a PHP
statement.

It's why most systems run with short tags disabled.

Duh, yes, I ranted about the wrong thing. I see that even my own server is
configured with short tags turned off.

I intended to rant about the ASP-style tags ( <%= ) which are, I believe,
usually enabled. But, somehow, the argument loses some of its impact when
its made a second time...

Actually, I think ASP-style tags are generally disabled also. At least
they are on my servers and most of the shared hosts I've used.
