Mixing html and php is simple:
<? while($row): ?>
<p><?=$row['name'] ?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
But how could i store html like this into a php variable? (Purposed syntax, but doesn't work)
<? $html = ?>
<p>My HTML!!</p>
<? ; ?>

A:
This is how:
$html = <<< HTML
<p>My HTML!!</p>
HTML;
That is know as php heredoc
Note: You should place closing heredoc keyword without any spaces or indentation.

A:
You could use the heredoc syntax when declaring the string:
<?php
$html = <<<HTML
<p>My HTML!!</p>
HTML;
?>
This treats anything between the start <<<HTML (HTML is the identifier) and the end HTML as a string. Note that the closing identifier must be the first in a new line without any indention.

@Gumbo: you initially used only <<. I am not saying that i have more knowledge than you probably but you must have mis-typed it. thanks :)
