Re: Heredoc question

I did figure a way around heredoc last night. Here's the solution if anyone can use it: <?php $truth = true; $head = "brain bucket"; $message = <<<TEST This is a test of the emergency broadcasting system. If this had been an actual emergency, you would have been instructed to TEST; if ($truth) { $message .= " place your {$head} between your legs and\n"; } $message .= <<<TEST read from the chapters of Matthew, Mark, Luke and DUCK!! TEST; print $message; ?> $message is actually works in heredoc just like any other string. Didn't expect that. Hope this helps someone else who is trying the same thing as I am. Robin E.
