I don't see how this is obvious. Since nowdocs isn't an existing concept, someone who comes across it isn't going to recognize the syntax as special. Therefore, I don't know why people would assume that a delimiter token surrounded by single quotatation marks (i.e. a nowdoc) isn't just a regular delimiter token that happens to have single quotation marks around it (i.e. a heredoc). I would expect people to be confused. -adam -- adam@trachtenberg.com | http://www.trachtenberg.com author of o'reilly's "upgrading to php 5" and "php cookbook" avoid the holiday rush, buy your copies today!
