kenrbnsn Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Technically, your first example shouldn't work either. As stated in the [a href=\"http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc\" target=\"_blank\"]manual[/a]:[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]It is very important to note that the line with the closing identifier contains no other characters, except possibly a semicolon (;). That means especially that the identifier may not be indented, and there may not be any spaces or tabs after or before the semicolon. It's also important to realize that the first character before the closing identifier must be a newline as defined by your operating system.[/quote]Ken Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/11156-ok-this-is-now-annoying-me/#findComment-41716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
