Many ways.
First one (using double quotes and escape sequence \n):

<?php
echo "<table>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td> blah blah </td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "</table>\n";
?>

or:

<?php
echo "<table>\n<tr>\n<td> blah blah </td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n";
?>

or:

<?php
echo '<table>'."\n";
echo '<tr>'."\n";
echo '<td> blah blah </td>'."\n";
echo '</tr>'."\n";
echo '</table>'."\n";
?>

or escaping to HTML:

<?php
// some PHP code
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td> blah blah </td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
// other PHP code
?>

or using multiline strings (and double quotes):

<?php
echo "<table>
<tr>
<td> blah blah </td>
</tr>
</table>
";
?>

or (probably) many more.
