Re: [RFC] Alternative syntax for Nowdoc.

Hi, Maybe other syntax could be used, but I don't know which. In javascript > only a backtick is used: > > https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/01/ES6-Template-Strings > . > But in PHP this is used as eval. > Just a precision, because you keep referring to it as "eval", which makes me "tick" (haha): $cmd (i.e. $cmd wrapped in a pair of backticks) is the same as shell_exec($cmd), not eval($cmd). (BTW, one of JS "template strings" main selling points is string substitution / variable interpolation, which is explicitly *not* wanted with nowdoc [VS heredoc].) As for the proposal, overall I agree with Rowan -- well, that would not be exactly like single quotes (regarding [not] escaping them), but still "yet another way" to write a nowdoc string literal. PS: "amusingly", the code samples are hard to understand after rendered on https://externals.io/message/115213 -- Guilliam Xavier
