"PHP != Perl" That is a perfect example of "NIH Syndrome". It should not matter what language it is from, if what is being requested is useful. I am literally tired of having to escape quotes in: echo "...\"bunch\".of.\"HTML\"....."; It also makes visually parsing such lines a royal PITA at times. If anything, this would go a long ways to promoting better readability of one's source code. Heredoc and Nowdoc (PHP's alternative solution) can make the code a bit ugly to grok when at 2 or more levels of indention deep. PHP, of all languages, should have this feature/ability since it is closely tied to outputting HTML (its original mandate). echo "</\"rant off\">"; -- Terra Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-17 12:43:37] jani@php.net PHP != Perl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-01 10:26:07] gerhard dot oettl at oesoft dot at it is not an new alias, it would add new functionality - maybe hard to code but very comfortable for web-designers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-17 16:11:19] sniper@php.net I guess Hartmut made a tiny typo.. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-17 14:02:33] hholzgra@php.net <_sniper_> hartmut: And #12896, NO we don't want another alias.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-15 20:30:04] NetChains at Yahoo dot com PHP needs quote operators like Perl's q// and qq//. Thanks. It would be extremely useful not having to escape double quotes while writing forms (because some variables must be interpolated). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=12779&edit=1
