Hello Lars, to me this makes pretty much sense on a second glance as it perfectly reflects what our string would do. And for someone learning 'NOWDOC', using "HEREDOC" seems just natural. So I am all +1 Consistency and satisfying expectations rocks! marcus

As the original proposer of nowdocs, I also give it a +1 for consistency! -- Gwynne, Daughter of the Code "This whole world is an asylum for the incurable."

Hi, as we introduce NOWDOC in 5.3 it would be logical to allow a double quoted syntax sister of NOWDOC which acts as HEREDOC (same as for $var = "$var" vs $var = '$var'). Currently we have the following options: $var = "Hello world"; $str = <<<LABEL $var LABEL; $str = <<<'LABEL' $var LABEL; The first one is HEREDOC and $var would be evaluated. The second one is NOWDOC and $var would be used literally. The following patch adds a third version: $str = <<<"LABEL" $var LABEL; This acts as HEREDOC, therefore $var would be interpreted. Comments? cu, Lars
