Php offers a very handy feature, the ability to go in and out of html/php
code by just using <? ?> and the ability to echo data by using <?= $var ?>
Seperate as much of your HTML from your PHP as possible. It will assist in
readability, and
maintenance.

<?php
$color = "#FFCC00";
$name = "Yogi";
?>
<font color="<?= $color ?>">The bear is <?= $name ?>.</font>
