you don't have to use an echo inside another, you can do one of the following:

<?php 

if (somethng) {
?>

<some tags you need in plain html> <?php echo "something you need from php"; ?> </some tags you need in plain html>


<?php
}else{
?>
<some more tags you need in plain html> <?php echo "something else you need from php"; ?> </some more tags you need in plain html>

<?php 
}
?>

or you can use concatenation:

$varsecondsentence = "second sentence";

echo "this is the fisrt sentence, " . $varsecondsentence

this will echo : this is the fisrt sentence, second sentence

Variables in PHP are expanded (interpolated) inside double quotes. So you don't need to use echo inside your echo statement. It's incorrect -- both syntactically and logically.

The following should work:

echo "<form method='post' class='product' action='index.php' 
id='addtocartproduct.{$products->virtuemart_product_id}'";

Or just use string concatenation, like so:

echo '<form method="post" class="product" action="index.php" 
id="addtocartproduct' . $products->virtuemart_product_id . '">';

All these do the same thing, but I recommend using the first approach since it's cleaner.

just concat var and string should work, then you only need one echo

 echo '<form method="post" class="product" action="index.php" id="addtocartproduct' + $products->virtuemart_product_id+' ">';

take a look in these pages for more documentation http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.string.php

You do not need to echo inside echo all you need is proper concatination.

echo '<form method="post" class="product" action="index.php" id="addtocartproduct
          '.$products->virtuemart_product_id.' ">';

OR

<form method="post" class="product" action="index.php" 
    id="addtocartproduct<?php echo $products->virtuemart_product_id; ?>">

if php tag is opened before then close it and then try above solution.

Such as 

?>
<form method="post" class="product" action="index.php" 
    id="addtocartproduct<?php echo $products->virtuemart_product_id; ?>">
