In the note above about escaping XML/PHP style <?xml tags, the following code was used:
<?php // Html safe containers
echo <<<EOD
<?xml version="1.0"?>
...all sorts of XML goes here...
Nothing will affect the output of this code until:
EOD;
?>
EOD is just an example stop/start name.
This works too:
<?php // Html safe containers
$myOutput = <<<MYHTMLSAFEOUTPUT
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html>
<title>PHP Example</title>
<body>
<p>...all sorts goes here...</p>
</body>
</html>
MYHTMLSAFEOUTPUT;
echo $myOutput;
?>
Only disadvantage of using this is that all the code highlighting programs I've seen never get
it right, making your code look eronous in the majority of viewers.
Another alternative is to keep the XML / HTML in a separate include file and read in when needed. I
don't know how efficient/inefficient this is for small amounts of text.
xmlheader.txt:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
mypage.php:
<?php
include("xmlheader.txt");
?>
