note 60253 added to language.types.string

Multiline strings: In most of the strings on this doc page, the heredoc form (<<<) is not needed. The heredoc form is useful when you also want to embed, without escaping, quotes of the same type as the starting quote. The single quote form is particularly useful when you want to specify multiline code for future evaluation. <?php $code = ' $output = "Mutliline output"; $out = "$output within multiline code: $ needs escaping within \$out, and double quotes (\") need escaping within \$out, but single quotes (\') need escaping everywhere."; // Next two lines work with php.exe /* on Windows systems */ $oWSH = new COM("WScript.Shell"); $oWSH->Popup($out, 4, \'IO Demo\', 131120); '; print "<pre>$code</pre>"; call_user_func (create_function('', $code)); ?> Happy New Year, Csaba Gabor from Vienna ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60253 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60253&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60253&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60253&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60253&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60253&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60253&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60253&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60253&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
