Okay, from "baz.php": // load environment settings require_once '../common/re5ult_settings.php'; // "bar.php" in my example require_once '../common/re5ult_utils.php'; // "heredoc1.php" require_once '../common/re5ult_xml.php'; // "heredoc2.php" All of the heredoc instances were fine (as I think demonstrated by commenting out the reference to re5ult_settings.php but NOT to the files which contain the heredoc instances). Here is an example of one of them: echo <<<EOMSG </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> EOMSG; >> But, bar.php does NOT contain any heredoc quoted strings, nor does it >> contain anywhere the strings "<<" or ">>".

My point being that the file that certainly appears to be causing the problem doesn't contain the string "<<" or ">>" and therefore nor does it contain "<<<" or ">>>". > Are you using any sort of PHP cache by chance?
