Probably a very simple and idiotic question to ask but I'm trying to write a simple practice script to test out heredocs. I have this: [code]<?php $var1 = "LIBERTY" $longstring = <<<ENDSTRING No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, $var1, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. ENDSTRING; echo $longstring; ?> [/code] It gives me the error: [code]syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE[/code] Really sorry for wasting your time with such a simple question but I'm stuck, I thought I had everything right.
