Is there a way to expand and collapse included PHP content?

What does that mean? Code is either executed or not.

<?php include 'inc/xxxx.php';?>

<div>

Oh, I see. You think that PHP and HTML are processed in the same place and at the same time. They're not. You cannot place PHP code inside a div. Ever. PHP code is executed on the server before HTML is processed by the browser, which is on a different machine.

Just to be clear, look at this:

<div>
<?php
echo "Hello world!";
?>
</div>

What's happening here is that the interpreter sees a bunch of text before the <?php tag and it passes that along to the browser, otherwise completely ignoring it. Then it processes the PHP, which in this case sends the text "Hello world!" to the browser. Next, it sees the end of PHP tag "?>" so everything after that gets ignored and sent on to the browser. The end result is that the browser sees:

<div>
Hello world!
</div>

Note that there is no PHP there!

I believe what you are talking about is expanding and collapsing content. This is something that is typically done with Javascript. Where the HTML comes from is irrelevant.
