My gut reaction is that there shouldn't be any difference; heredoc syntax is simply another form of quoting strings. The other factor to consider is if a few microseconds more of processing time is worth the extra programming time it takes to get quotes right (assuming heredoc syntax *does* take longer). I personally prefer heredocs when using long, multiline strings to using double quotes -- they're easier to maintain. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Zend Certified Engineer http://weierophinney.net/matthew/
