Problem I'm having is I've inherited a PHP page that contains sections of
PHP/Javascript/HTML/CSS all inside of a PHP echo tag. My PHP and JS skill are
rudimentary at best so when it comes to a block of code 40 to 50 lines in
length, it becomes daunting to reverse the ' with ". Each echo block starts
with a " and the html inside uses a '. JS also uses '.
Below is an actual block in more detail with JS in it. Is it still recommended
to switch with " with ' and ' with "?

If (trim($pic_1) <> "") {echo "<div class='proddetailpics'><a href='#'
