Doc #69231 [Opn->Nab]: Example 3 seems wrong

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69231&edit=1 ID: 69231 Updated by: salathe@php.net Reported by: alejandroivan at ingenieros dot com Summary: Example 3 seems wrong -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Any PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Yes, the example is correct. The semicolon is a statement terminator, but in the cited example the statement is not finished yet as we're in the middle of providing arguments in a function call. When used in this way, the closing heredoc identifier must be on a line entirely of its own. E.g. the following is not allowed: <?php vr_dump(array(<<<EOD foobar! EOD)); ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-03-12 15:10:50] alejandroivan at ingenieros dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.types.string --- Is example 3 correct? The original example says: <?php var_dump(array(<<<EOD foobar! EOD )); ?> According to heredoc explanation, the string should end with "EOD;": <?php var_dump(array(<<<EOD foobar! EOD; )); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69231&edit=1
