Doc #64943 [Opn]: Heredoc syntax specification

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64943&edit=1 ID: 64943 Updated by: sixd@php.net Reported by: jduartedj at gmail dot com Summary: Heredoc syntax specification Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Both issues are already covered in the doc. 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.
