PHP code inside a Laravel 5 blade template

According to documentation, in Laravel 5.2 and newer you can use the following code:

@php{{-- PHP code here --}}@endphp

Alternatively, you can extend the Blade templating engine as it's described here.

If neither of the above solutions is suitable, you are stuck with the answers given by Armen and by Gonzalo.

php laravel-5 laravel-blade

Just open and close PHP tags:

<?php $style = '...'; ?>

php laravel-5 laravel-blade

Laravel recipes suggest a simple, but effective, way to do it without including the PHP tags:

{{--*/ $var = 'test' /*--}}

{{-- --}} works as a blade comment / and / reverts the effect of comment resulting on

<?php $var = 'test' ?>

The problem is that is longer than including PHP tags :-(
