note 95711 added to language.types.string

Salil Kothadia on 15-Oct-08 is right about the behavior but not the cause. I don't see it in the docs, but the closing line of a HEREDOC must be identifier, optional semicolon, AND a newline. If the HEREDOC ends the file (EOF immediately follows the closing semicolon of a HEREDOC without an intervening newline), it will give a "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end" error. Watch for online editors that automatically strip blank lines from the end of files making the error a bit sneaky. The easiest solution is just to put a comment on a line following the close of the HEREDOC. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 75.132.176.241 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95711 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95711/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95711/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95711/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95711/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95711/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95711/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95711 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95711 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
