I agree the first one could be made more obvious: currently that page says "After this operator, an identifier is provided, then a newline." This could be improved. The warning box is already very clear about your second point: "It is very important to note that the line with the closing identifier must contain no other characters, except possibly a semicolon (;)." This could also be improved because the semicolon is mandatory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-29 15:08:23] jduartedj at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.types.string --- It is not mentioned that heredoc syntax requires: * NO SPACE after each identifier * NO CHARACTERS before the END identifier Test script: --------------- //PROPER echo <<<EOS my freestyle text EOS; //IMPROPER (space after "<<<EOS") echo <<<EOS my freestyle text EOS; //IMPROPER (space after "EOS;") echo <<<EOS my freestyle text EOS; //IMPROPER (spaces before "EOS;") echo <<<EOS my freestyle text EOS; Expected result: ---------------- Fail all except first ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64943&edit=1
