If I wanted to code like that, I'd be coding in Java.
I did a long stint of programming in Perl, which offers you about
30,000 ways to quote text.
Here are my rules for PHP.
(1) Use ?>...some HTML...<?php as much as feasible
(2) Avoid heredoc -- it's particularly treacherous in PHP
(3) Use " in most situations. Use \ to escape ", $ and \.
(4) Make a habit of writing {$like_this}
Convention (3) turns out to be an effective convention
cross-language. Double quotes work the same way in shell scripts, perl
scripts and other places. It might not be the most elegant syntax, but
it works well.
