If I'm understanding the question right, yes you can.

Hi everyone,

I finally got some time to come back to learning a little more PHP... and I
am looking forward to lots more in coming months, with any luck. Anyway, as
I was working towards the last deadline with the PHP project I was working
on, I uncovered several issues I did not know the answer to.. and I just
hacked around them to avoid taking more time while I was under the
clock/meter. Now on my own time, I want to ask, so I learn more deeply what
was more ideal understanding/technique.

Here's one of those Q's:
I was working on a system (MoveableType, A.K.A. MT) that writes db data
to static text files (web pages) whenever the CMS admin tells it to
publish. That system writes out the PHP code that I tell it to, in each
page of the site. There was one place in my PHP code (marked with ***MT***,
below) where I needed to include a chunk of data that would not be known (or
written out) until the admin next published the page (i.e. I could not
include the code inline). I needed to display it only in case of a PHP
comparison evaluating to true. I was tempted to break out of PHP at that
point, and then go back into PHP within that ***MT*** block itself, _only_
when/where in the few places that block needs PHP.. in order to reduce the
head pressure (of the less-technical admin using the MT CMS) having to wade
through so many PHP print/echo statements (I could not get heredoc to work
right, but that is another topic/post ;-). But despite the temptation, I did
not attempt that because I thought it might break the logic of the if { } .
On the other hand, I vaguely remember reading something that made me think
something like that is possible.. but I don't know where I saw it.
To better summarize my Q:
could the below mt:Var name=PageMoreNoCRLF (which contains a long block
of HTML sprinkled with a little PHP whose contents are known only at
runtime) be *broken out of* of the ?php ... ? wrapper that surrounds the if
{ } statement, and have it still only get displayed on the final webpage when
the if { } statement evaluates to true? The reason I want that is so that I
can just keep the HTML straight and simple in that MT block, instead of using
PHP string-printing statements to spit out it's mostly-pure-HTML contents.
The admin using the system is using a WYSIWYG HTML editable textarea
interface, kind of like FCKEditor.
if($AlertUser2success != 0) {
echo 'div class=pg_DIVmainText'.\n;
echo 'img class=divBGgradient style=
src=images/BehindBox01.png alt= /'.\n;
echo 'div'.\n;
/*--- here is the ***MT***
block/include --- ---*/ mt:Var name=PageMoreNoCRLF
echo '/div'.\n;
echo '/div'.\n;
} else {
