 * Hello, I am editing the plugin file and this is my php code
 *     ```
       <div class="review-thumb relative">';
           $thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'post-thumb' );
           $return_string .='<img itemprop="image" src="' . esc_url( $thumb['0'] ) .'" />
   
           <div class="review-thumb-credit">
           <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "mvp_photo_credit", true); ?>
           </div><!--review-thumb-credit-->
       </div><!--review-thumb-->
       ```
   
 * The first code executed successfully and I get the post thumbnail. But the second
   code ( review-thumb-credit ) causing issue and the output is
    `ID, "mvp_photo_credit",
   true); ?>` This is not the correct output. Anybody help me in this issue.

 * Check the code carefully. In the first code the first line is ended with a single
   quote that means the div tag is assigned to a php string.
 * The second code is not like that, the html and php code are independent. Please
   check if the second code is also to be assigned to any php string.
