 * You don’t need to put the open and close php tags on every line of php. Only 
   around a block of php (between blocks of html). Like this:
    ` <?php if( $success){
   $success = !$success; }else{ $myvariable += 1; } ?>
 * here is some html.
 *  <?php
    // More php code // goes here. ?>
 * This will make your php code easier to read and more efficient.
