[SOLVED] PHP code in here document

[chum]

I'm a bit confused, can you tell how i could place <?php ?> inside the <<< document? I put in like this, but the browser just spit it out as text, and doesn't run the code inside...

 

if(isset($_GET['addjoke']))

{//Note : \x5B and \x5D is code for [ and ] character.

$HTMLFORM = <<<JOKEFORM

<form name="jokeForm" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER\x5B'PHP_SELF'\x5D;?>">

<lable for="insertJoke">Please enter your joke here</lable><br />

<textarea name="insertJoke" cols="50" rows="15" ></textarea><br />

<input type="submit" value="ENTER"/>

</form>

 

JOKEFORM;

 

echo $HTMLFORM;

}

HEREDOC is a form of a quoted string. You can put PHP variables inside of it and they will be parsed and replace with their contents. You don't put PHP code inside of it.
