<p>I want to conditionally output HTML to generate a page, so what is the easiest way in PHP 4? Do I need to use a template framework like Smarty? </p>
<pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;">echo '<html>', "n"; // I believe there is a better way!
echo '<head>', "n";
echo '</head>', "n";
echo '<body>', "n";
echo '</body>', "n";
echo '</html>', "n";</pre>

Template Engine is used for using PHP in documents that mainly contain HTML. In fact, PHP's original purpose was to be a template language. This is why in PHP you can use short tags such as
<?=$someVariable?>) to output variables.There are other template engines (such as Smarty, Twig, etc.) that make the syntax more concise (such as
{{someVariable}}).The main benefit of using a template engine is to separate design (Display logic) from coding (Business logic). It also makes the code cleaner and easier to maintain in the long term.

Note: The use of PHP's short tags
<?and?>is not recommended because they are only enabled in the php.ini configuration file Theshort_open_tagdirective is available, or PHP is configured with the--enable-short-tagsoption. Starting with PHP 5.4, they are available regardless of settings .
