as can see php , html concatenate 1 , when required. wondering, if best approach , should use php echo rather doing above?
trying write elseif block below gives me error states elseif unexpected, makes me think i'm approaching whole thing wrong.

when @ huge projects people have made, i've noticed barely within each file, , not lot of html visible. correct in assuming of goes within objects or classes? suggestions or references appreciated. in advance.

you'll different description of "best practices" different people. go psr-1 code formatting standards, includes important point:

  • files should either declare symbols (classes, functions, constants, etc.) or cause side-effects (e.g. generate output, change .ini settings, etc.) should not both.

i recommend php code not print out html directly @ use templates instead. i'm big fan of templating engines, , there ton of them out there. people "php templating engine," , use if wanted. keep logic out of template (display) possible.

decide on standards ahead of time team , stick them. there may variance in opinion whether echo or ?> better, once have decided, consistent. it's important keep indentation consistent too. if that, you'll able find missing brace makes elseif incorrect.
