note 76247 added to language.types.string

Heredocs can be used for more than just echoing or setting variables - use them whenever you want to include a string. function header() { return <<<EOT <html> <head> <title>This is my heredoc</title> </head> <body> EOT; Also, note the strict syntax: - No semicolon after initial EOT (think of the heredoc as a literal string arg - you wouldn't want a semicolon in front of it, would you?) - BUT need semicolon after final EOT (the command is finished here) - Final EOT is on the left margin - don't indent it! ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 87.194.3.55 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76247 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76247/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76247/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76247/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76247/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76247/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76247/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76247 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76247 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
