Check out the here doc:
http://www.php.net/manual/language.types.string.php
Example:
<?php
$str = <<<EOD
Example of string
spanning multiple lines
using heredoc syntax.
EOD;
?>
By the way, this sort of question should really go to the PHP3 users'
mailing list; the PHP-dev list is for people developing PHP, not
people developing _in_ PHP. :)
Cheers,
Torben
