note 105369 added to language.types.string

The docs say: "Heredoc text behaves just like a double-quoted string, without the double quotes" but there is a notable hidden exception to that rule: the final newline in the string (the one before closing heredoc token) is elided. i.e. if you have: $foo = <<<EOF a b c EOF; the result is equivalent to "a\nb\nc", NOT "a\nb\nc\n" like the docs imply. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 194.246.122.11 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105369 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105369/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105369/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105369/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105369/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105369/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105369/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105369 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105369 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
