Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-01 00:36:35] vandor at freestart dot hu Description: ------------ This is a feature request: A new string separator character ie:#, with variable parsing To write string contains double-quotes and variables have 4 different solution: $s = "<p class=\"$class\" id=\"$id\">"; $s = '<p class="'.$class.'" id="'.$id.'">'; $s = <<<HEREDOC <p class="$class" id="$id" HEREDOC; $s = sprintf('<p class="%s" id="%s">', $class, $id); would suggest a 5th solution: $s = #<p class="$class" id="$id"#; Think it would produce cleaner, readable code when write html strings. The # character used only for example, any may find a better one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37979&edit=1
