And what does that have to do with PHP?

This is a question about HTML. And it's easy to answer: either it is
valid HTML or not.

Browsers are designed to cope with invalid HTML to a certain degree
since people often create invalid code. But nevertheless it is still
invalid HTML.

To be sure use validator like <https://validator.w3.org/>.
