Nope. All the php code in a script shares the same environment.
eg in a single file:
-----------------------------------------
<?php
// some code
?>
some html
<?php
// some more code
?>
more html
<?php
// even more code
?>
-----------------------------------------
all the php code is operating with the same variables etc.
This means you can:
<?php
if (condition) {
?>
some html
<?php
}
?>
It might not be the tidiest way to do it (using heredoc is usually
tidier), and I'm sure at least one purist will say "you shouldn't do it
like that" but it works and it's valid php.
