HTML into PHP Variable (HTML outside PHP code)

php output-buffering

Have you tried "output buffering"?

<?php ... ob_start();?><html>   <head>...</head>   <body>...<?php echo $another_variable ?></body></html><?php $variable = ob_get_clean(); ...?>

I think you want heredoc syntax.

For example:

$var = <<<HTML<html>   <head>random crap here</html>HTML;

I'm not really sure about what you are trying to accomplish, but I think something like the heredoc syntax might be useful for you:

<?$variable = <<< MYSTRING<html>   <head>...</head>   <body>...</body></html>MYSTRING;

However if you are trying to make HTML templates I would highly recommend you to get a real templating engine, like Smarty, Dwoo or Savant.
