This works:
<?php echo "\"" . $content . "\""; ?>
This doesn't 500 Internal Server Error:
"<?php echo $content; ?>"
Why? Thank you!
I'm using PHPStorm and MAMP.

Obviously the second will show you error. Because the second one is not even PHP code. It's simply a string. See carefully, the first one you told the server that it's a PHP code which started with <?php and ended with ?>.
But in the second code, you wrote <?php tag inside the quotation. So server doesn't know that it has a PHP code inside. May be you got my point.

sorry, I didn't want to provide the full quote. The whole thing is within .... – Hillcow Mar 04 '17 at 16:20

Yes I understand but are you sure that in your HTML page, you just wrote `""` . PHP code within double-quote? – Shaharia Azam Mar 04 '17 at 16:23

No, there is more code of course. I'm just wondering what the difference between my two examples is. – Hillcow Mar 04 '17 at 16:34
