Can you explain the problems you are having? Any errors? How are you testing/running the code?

[Incomsys]

It says: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<<' (T_SL) in C:\wamp\www\Tutorials\Intermediate - Simple CMS\simpleCMS.php on line 17

 

But i just copied the heredoc syntax. I'm running wamp.

The end delimiter of a heredoc *must* start at the first column.

 

Note the big red box in the documentation: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc

Your heredoc syntax is wrong. It currently like this

               $somevar = <<<delimiter // some comment here

                     ... some text/html ...

               delimiter;

There should not be anything directly after the opening heardoc delimiter (remove the comment)

 

Also nothing should be before the closing heardoc delimiter (including tables/spaces). The closing delimiter should start from the first character of the next line.

 

Your heredoc syntax should be like this

               $somevar = <<<delimiter

                     ... some text/html ...

delimiter;
