如何使用foreach（）插入HTML而不使用echo

Question

I have this working code in my view:

<?php
                $task_num = 0;
                foreach ($curent_day->getTasksList() as $task){

                    echo '<div class="task">';
                        echo '<span class="task_id">'.($task_num+1).'.'.'</span>';
                        echo '<div class="task_time">';
                            echo '<span class="task_time_start">'.$task->getStartTime().'</span>';
                            echo '<span class="task_time_finish">'.$task->getFinishTime().'</span>';
                        echo '</div>';
                        echo '<a href="/" class="task_name">'.$task->name.'</a>';
                        echo '<a href="/" class="btn task_start btn_disabled">Start</a>';
                        echo '<a href="/" class="btn task_finish btn_disabled">Finish</a>';
                        echo '<div class="status_round '.$task->status.'"></div>';
                    echo '</div>';

                $task_num++;

                }
?>

Is there any way to get rid of 'echo'? P.S. and is the way to insert HTML with HTML helper more correct even if it takes more space?

Answer 1

You can drop echo completely and use native HTML syntax:

<?php $task_num = 0 ?>
<?php foreach ($curent_day->getTasksList() as $task): ?>
    <div class='task'>
        <span class='task_id'><?= ++$task_num ?></span>
        <div class='task_time'>
            <span class='task_time_start'><?= $task->getStartTime() ?></span>
            <span class='task_time_finish'><?= $task->getFinishTime() ?></span>
        </div>
        <a href='/' class='task_name'><?= $task->name ?></a>
        <a href='/' class='btn task_start btn_disabled'>Start</a>
        <a href='/' class='btn task_finish btn_disabled'>Finish</a>
        <div class='status_round <?= $task->status ?>'></div>
    </div>
<?php endforeach ?>

This will give you better syntax highlighting and autoformatting support in your IDE/editor.
