commonly this comes from malformed heredoc statements - you can have NO whitespace on the line of the opening heredoc decleration after the name of the heredoc and you can have NO whitespace on the closing line of the heredoc before the heredoc name. Make absoloutly certain that there are no tabs or spaces on these lines that shouldn't be.

I coppied and ran the code above, I got the same massage about T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITE SPACE - I then removed the white space at the start of the line "END_OF_BLOCK;" and it ran through fine.

 

hint: if someone gives you a suggestion - try following it up.
