Doing Html Markup in PHP

I'd like to do my HTML markup with PHP using require is this possible and if so how'd you do it?

Right now this is the code in my index.php:

<?php


require('header.php')
require('body.php')

htmlHead();
htmlContent();


?>

Then In my header.php file i've got this:

<?php

 function htmlHead(){
 echo '
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
        <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
            <title>Hello World</title>
            <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css">
        </head>';
}


?>

and then for my body tags:

<?php
 function htmlContent(){
 echo'  <body>
        <div id="wrapper">
            <p>Hello World!</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
';
}
?>

Thanks in advance!

Solution

You don't need to put your HTML in functions. You can simply do something like:

require('my_header.php');

And the contents of my_header.php look like:

<html>
<head>
  <title>My Title</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php $someVariable; ?>" type="text/css" />
  ...
</head>

Easy peasy.
