You mean `<?php' and `?>'; there can be only one `<html>' tag in a (Valid)
HTML document.
Contrary to common misconception, several `<?php's and `?>'s in a file
parsed by PHP are healthy and appropriate, as it is the most efficient
method (stdin --> stdout) and the easiest to maintain (no quoting necessary;
parsing, that includes syntax highlighting and client-side validation, just
works both for HTML and PHP).
Only make sure that you do not mix too much program logic with the output
(loops are OK). Use the template approach (not necessarily a full-blown
template system like Smarty). And, as always, indent your code so that you
can tell sections apart.

Yes. You have found it.
