My code:
<?php $i = 1; switch ($i) { ?> <?php case 1: ?> $i is 1 <?php break; ?> <?php } ?>
This code gives me an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ' ', expecting case (T_CASE) or default (T_DEFAULT) or '}' in D:xampphtdocsphp-mvcpublictest.php on line 5
I know that I can avoid closing php tags and say echo 'text';
but still, how to fix this?

Answer
You are breaking the switch syntax off by outputting empty spaces when closing and opening the PHP tag.
This will work:
<?php $i = 1; switch ($i) { case 1: ?> $i is 1 <?php break; ?> <?php } ?>
