Re: Strings and default values...

1) You most likely have magic_quotes_gpc set to on. Either set it to off or stripslashes() the input. 2) No, it won't print. Think of a heredoc as a quotes string without the quotes. You can, however, do something like: $variable = <<< WHATEVER whatever text goes here WHATEVER; $variable.= executesomephp(); $variable = <<< WHATEVER whatever other text goes here WHATEVER; Steven Kallstrom wrote:

Dear List,

           This is a simple problem, but I can't really find a good

solution. and I have a general question also.

1)       I have a webform that is save to a variable $html using

heredoc. $html = <<< WEBFORM . <input name="company" type="text" value="$company"> . the problem is that when you enter an apostrophe, and then repost the page with the stored values, the apostrophe appears escaped in the edit form. how can I solve this?

2)       is it possible to put additional ('nested') php inside a

heredoc, or will that text simply print out? Thank you, Steven Kallstrom
