How do I get basename(__FILE__) or htmlentities($somevar) to be evaluated in a heredoc?
    You don't.  Instead, you have to store the output from those in a
variable (or array), then place it into the HEREDOC it. <?php $somevar = htmlentities($somevar); $filedata = array('name' => basename(__FILE__), 'size' => filesize(__FILE__)); $html =<<<HTML <b>File Name:</b> {$filedata['name']}<br /> <b>File Size:</b> {$filedata['size']}<br /> <b>\$somevar</b>: {$somevar}<br /> HTML; echo $html; ?>
