Echo html that contains php

Question

I tried echoing something like:

<?php
echo '<div>Example Created to simplify <?php load(somefile.php); ?> </div>';
?>

It just displays Example Created to simplify.. Is there any way, simple modification of above, with which I can accomplish this.

I of course want to display Example Created to simplify and somefile.php. somefile.php and the text to not cover/block each other.

Answer 1

php is a server-side language. So it makes no sense to send php code to a client browser. Try it like this:

<?php
echo '<div>Example Created to simplify '.load(somefile.php).'</div>';
?>

Answer 2

You don't have to open php tag again inside the string. Just use concatenation:

<?php
echo '<div>Example Created to simplify' . load(somefile.php) . '</div>';
?>
