Assign HTML to variable using <<<

[vin301]

I saw somewhere that you can assign HTML to a variable doing something like the following:

$var <<< EOF ?>

HTML tags and "quotes" and 'quotes'

<?
EOF
.
?>

ANY THOUGHTS?

That syntax is the "heredoc" syntax and is described in the [a href=\"http://www.php.net/heredoc\" target=\"_blank\"]fine manual[/a].

Here is a brief example pulled from the manual:
[code]<?php
$str = <<<EOD
Example of string
spanning multiple lines
using heredoc syntax.
EOD;?>[/code]
