Im trying to echo whole modal with data from db. I want to use my other functions "getLocations and getdescriptions" in my new function. But… Html shows those functions as comments
"<!–?php echo getLocations(); ?–> & <!–?php echo getdescriptions(); ?–>". How I can make these echos to work.
Code is not complete, so there is possible many problems, but this echo is my problem right now.
$output .= "
<tr data-toggle='modal' data-target='#startWorkTime".$location_row['name'].gmdate("j", $start_day)."' href=''>
<td class='column7'>".gmdate("j", $start_day).".".gmdate("n", $start_day).".".gmdate("Y", $start_day)."</td>
<td class='column7'>".$location_row['name']."</td>
<td class='column7'><a href='https://www.w3schools.com/'>".$row['msg']."</a></td>
<td class='column7'>".gmdate("G", $sum)."h ".gmdate("i", $sum)."m</td>
</tr>
<div class='modal text-center fade' id='startWorkTime".$location_row['name'].gmdate("j", $start_day)."' >
<div class='modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered' style='min-width:50%' >

How I can prevent to html shows those functions as comments
"<!–?php echo getLocations(); ?–> & <!–?php echo getdescriptions(); ?–>".

Change code like this:
Those tags are HTML encoded because you have them inside a double-quoted string. PHP is interpreting the tags as actual PHP open/close tags, and since they’re in a string, they just output as-is.
To fix this, you can use heredoc syntax instead:
This will allow actual PHP code to be interpreted within the string.
It seems you have a deeper issue causing the PHP to not be parsed at all. I would double-check your PHP file extension and server configuration to ensure PHP is being parsed correctly.
