Are there potential pitfalls to avoid when storing HTML blocks with PHP variables in a variable?

When storing HTML blocks with PHP variables in a variable, one potential pitfall to avoid is using double quotes for the HTML block. This can cause issues with variable interpolation and potentially lead to unexpected results. To avoid this, use single quotes for the HTML block to ensure that PHP variables are not interpolated within the string. 

// Incorrect way - using double quotes for HTML block
$htmlBlock = "<div>Hello, $name!</div>";

// Correct way - using single quotes for HTML block
$htmlBlock = '<div>Hello, ' . $name . '!</div>';
