If you are working with many tags that you have to have in double quotes 
and don't want to have many escapes I find this works very well for me.

Heredocs

<?php
// off the cuff
define("SITE_NAME", "SiteName");
$id = 1;
$alt_color = "yellow";
$content = "http://" . SITE_NAME;

$link = <<<EOD  // Must be on its own line but not needed to be first.
    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellsapcing="0">
     <tr class="tr_class">
      <td style="border-bottom:1px solid gray; color:{$alt_color};">
       <a href="http://{$content}?id={$id}">{$content}</a>
      </td>
     </tr>
    </table>	
EOD;  // Must be first and only on its own line.

echo $link;

?>
