note 30476 added to function.define

Here's an extremely useful (undocumented?) feature. You can include the heredoc syntax in an constant like so: define(INDEX_HEADER, <<<HTML <html> <head><title>Heredoc constants</title></head> <body> HTML ); Note: The closing parenthesis and semicolon _must_ occur on a new line after the ending heredoc tag. From what I've found, you can use a heredoc'd constant in any context you would use a constant of string value. For instance: print INDEX_HEADER."\nPage Content\n".INDEX_FOOTER; -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30476 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30476 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30476
