There's a limit as to how much editors can interpret the code. For
instance, they can't properly parse something like:
<?php if ($i == 3)
echo "<div class='foo'\n";
?>
because $i is only meaningful during the execution of the page.
They also don't handle things like:
echo "<";
echo "div ";
echo "class='foo'";
echo ">\n";
Even though this generates perfectly valid HTML (I know you wouldn't
write it like this, but it's an example).
As a result, when you mix things like regular html and html generated by
php (or any other language), editors are bound to get confused at some
point in time. It's just a limit of what editors can do.
The best way is to run the generated page through the HTML validator, as
Denis suggested.

Sure, it will *ACCEPT* it - but it will not *PROCESS* it properly.

Then your code is fine.

Gosh, this is really unreadable code, I think you should make it more
readable , it's far easier to see HTML errors if you don't use that many
echo's.
tried:
$output = <<< EOF
<div class='bcol2'>
* {$nbumber} *<br />
<a
href='http://mroldies.net/index2.php?year={$year}&nid={$number}'>{$vid[0]}</a>
<br />
{$vid[1]}
<br />
{$vid[3]}
</div>
EOF;
sure your notepad++ would become a lot happier too.
To make a good code, you separate PHP functions and HTML generation as
much as possible, you don't need to echo, just end the PHP parsing with
a endtag and start it again with a starttag when you need, that is less
stressing for the system than using echo.

:)
Are you referring to the tag soup? If yes, to be fair, Christoph just
rewrote with “‘template’ syntax” what was in the OP.
