Re: [suspicious - maybe spam] Using heredocs

Hello, I've just tried using heredocs [1] for the first time, but I am receiving parse errors always on the very last line of my document. The error is caused by my heredocs. Am I using it correctly? When I replaced the heredoc with a string.. everything worked again. Here's my code with heredocs (and the lines before and after for context): /* Query the database */ $db_sql = <<<SQL

        SELECT  id, expiry, permissions
        FROM    tblStudents
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  id, expiry, permissions
        FROM    tblStaff;

Heredoc is a strict format. the SQL; *must* be at the very beginning of the line, so if you simply remove the whitespace before it you should be fine.

        SQL;

SQL;

$rs = $db_connection->execute($db_sql); ...

Thanks Tim
