This means that instead of removing the requirement for a trailing newline, it was in fact replaced by a requirement for any trailing character. Test script: --------------- // No trailing line. echo <<<LABEL hello world LABEL Expected result: ---------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting ',' or ';' Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) or heredoc end (T_END_HEREDOC) or ${ (T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES) or {$ (T_CURLY_OPEN) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76608&edit=1
