I get so sick of tying all these <?php ?> tags and code written with php looks so messy... ie:
<section class='<?php echo $classes ?>' background="<?php echo $bgi ?>">
</section>
In React, it could just be this (which is much cleaner):
<section class='{{example}}' background="{{example}}">
</section>
Are there any ways to make php + html cleaner and more concise?

14,238 PointsMessy is a matter of opinion, I guess, but React syntax (Angular, as well) is just objectively shorter.

10,801 PointsWhy it's messy? {{}} seems messy to me, and it's the same as <?php ?>.
Sure, it migth be shorter, but it's different, doing exactly the same thing.
