what does "EOT" stand for?
(I realize that string can be anything.. but I am just asking what EOT

I just use it as "End of Term" because I'm used to "EOF" as "End of File" EOT used to mean End of Text. reference ASCII-7 notatioin
Yes, but in both cases the operator is used at both the beginning AND at the end of the heredoc. I normally don't start anything with an "End" term. That's what I liked about the underscore (_) -- there's no inference that it's an acronym. $whatever = <<<_ whatever _; However with that said, one could come up with a dual purpose acronym like: TO = (TEXT On or TEXT Off) or if you need three characters. HDO = (HEREDOC ON or HEREDOC OFF) I'm sure some clever person could come up with something better. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
