I can see a couple of things that may help as starters...

Firstly, I see a lot of code that's been cut and pasted a number of times and the altered a bit. If you find your self cutting and pasting code to write a script - there's probably an easier way ... and you're making yourself a maintenance nightmare if you insist on duplicating code

Don't copy and paste - write a function. If you have to change bits of the code when you copy and paste, THAT is the clue as to what should be passed into the function as parameters

Second - Don't write long, multiline quotes strings with backslashed quotes within. There are several alternatives, including a here document.

Code: Select all

$display_block .=  <<<DONE
This is a block of text to print
that is several lines long
DONE;
