Re: Perl user question

Do you mean a "here-document"? Perl uses a <<, and PHP has the same functionality, only with one more less than sign <<<. Here's a here document in PHP: print <<< END_HTML some stuff interpolate $some_variable more stuff END_HTML; ----------------------- One gotcha - remember to put your ending tag at the *start* of the line. It won't work if your end tag is anywhere but at the very beginning of the line.
