Dear PHPers. I have tried to get the "Here Document" functionality to work, all to no avail.
I am writing the following code:
$body = <<<EOQ
....Lots of HTML stuff here
Lines and Lines and lines of it.
....
all the way to
EOQ;
I get a parse error on the first line where I declare the variable. I have tried it in several different ways, such as
$body=
<<<EOQ
But I get parser errors every time.
My PHP version is 4.0.2
Anyone know when Here Documents were first implemented in PHP (version number)? Do I need to set GPC or magic-quotes to a certain value at runtime for this to work?
I could not find "here document" even MENTIONED on the entire php site. Nor could I find it in the mailing list archives. I did find out about it at the Zend tutorial on strings, and have seen it in a script at px.sklar.
Kristofer
