repetition structures in html

[Joubert Guimarães de Assis]

There is a standard for opening and closing of loops when the source code is mixed with html?

I see this so much I put the link http://pastebin.com/Ls4VPGzN
But if the html code for many lines in the middle, at the end you do not know if the keys that correspond repeating structure


Thinking about this, I imagine it would be better this way http://pastebin.com/MGasqgX1
because then you know that at this point ending the repeating structure


This way I implement this correct? I would like to discuss more about it.

ps: sorry my bad english

Using the alternate syntax for control structures[1] when mixing PHP and
HTML template-style is the de facto standard I've seen, and it is the de
jure standard when dealing with Drupal PHP templates. Although we
structure it slightly differently:

<?php if ($blah): ?>
<div><?php echo $blah; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

That way it's more compact and the control structures read more like tags.

That's assuming you're in a template-esque file. If you're in a
non-template-esque file, you shouldn't be breaking out to HTML in the
first place. If you need to format a large block of HTML while in a
mostly-PHP file, use HEREDOC[2] instead.

I agree with Larry as well. The use of endif; and endforeach; instead of brackets make it much easier to read, shift through and find the ending points of loops;
