HTML behaviour inside echo "***"

Hi folks,

my FR:
Switch to HTML highlighting and autocomplete inside the double quotes of an echo statement.
Maybe with a different background color to avoid confusion.

Thanks

Hmm, is writing echo "html here" a good way to go about templating? Aren't you supposed to close PHP tag and put the HTML content there? e.g.

Code: Select all

...php code
?>
<html><goes><here></here></goes></html>
<?php
...more  php code

Yes, but sometimes it's like too much "switching" php off and on. E.g. at the end of a loop just for a closing bracket.

Code: Select all

<?
while (something) {
echo "Html with $variables...";
}
?>

Or

Code: Select all

<? while (something) { ?>
Html with <?= $variables?>...
<? } ?>

What is better for the parser anyway? What ist good programming style? Sure my approach to writing code is not very professional.
And yes, I've already made myself a shortcut "Get out of php": ?> [selection] <?
