Okay, so maybr I'm going about doing this entirely wrong, I probably am. But I would like to be able to take the HTML between a ... like so:
$str = ?>
... some HTML goes here ...
<?php ;
Am I completely off my rocker to think I can do this? I couldn't think of a way to put it into words so I could search it on Google, which is why I'm here...

The htmlspecialchars() function converts special characters into HTML entities. It is the in-built function of PHP, which converts all pre-defined characters to the HTML entities.
PHP provides an inbuilt function to remove the HTML tags from the data. The strip_tags() function is an inbuilt function in PHP that removes the strings form HTML, XML and PHP tags. It accepts two parameters. This function returns a string with all NULL bytes, HTML, and PHP tags stripped from a given $str.
You can use output buffering:
ob_start();
?>
... some HTML goes here ...
<?php
echo 'php outputs are captured too';
$str = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
Alternatively, if it's just a little bit of HTML (and no php code within), just write it down with one of the string formats like heredoc or nowdoc:
$str = <<<'NOWDOC'
... some HTML goes here
NOWDOC;
Look into heredocs and nowdocs. A heredoc looks like:
$str = <<<HTML
<div>This is some text!</div>
HTML;
// We're back in PHP.
echo $str;
If you specifically want to work with HTML, look into XHP.
