I merely feel that their existence is not sufficient reason to argue against the use of here docs, which was implied by someone else. And I did mention that it was a contrived example. The original poster has posited that here docs were completely unnecessary in PHP. I'm just demonstrating that for some (rather common) situations, it may indeed be the cleanest (subjective) solution. As I said before, YMMV. If anyone wants to continue, we should prolly do it off list. :) I sorta get the feeling this conversation is only interesting to the four of us anymore. ;) Cheers, Torben -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> Netmill iTech| |http://www.coastnet.com/~torben http://www.netmill.fi| |Ph: 1 250 383-9735 torben@netmill.fi| +----------------------------------------------------------------+
