使用PHP显示HTML内容的最佳方法是什么？

Question

I have a php function as shown below, which takes in an array that has values from an SQL query (in another, not shown function). In this case, the SQL query returns a set of filenames and their associated picture names.

// Take in an array of filters;
// each element is a dictionary of column name 
// to the value of that row from SQL query
function displayFilters($filters) {
    foreach($filters as $filter){
        //output images in img tags, with their appropriate classes
        echo "  <div class='w3-quarter'>
                    <div class='w3-card-2'>
                        <img src='images/".$filter['File_Name']."' style='width:100%'>
                            <div class='w3-container'>
                                <h4>".$filter['Filter_Name']."</h4>
                            </div>
                    </div>
                </div>";
    }

} 

Now, this works fine and will properly display the images as I want. However, I keep having to modify this code, change classes, properties and what not, and if I need to add/modify to the div, I have to go into this function to change everything. Is there a better way to do this than going into the echo function to change it? I'd rather not have to use Javascript if possible, but if that is the only clean way to do it, can someone point me to a way to do this?
