It depends on what you want to do. Escaping in fact is a little bit faster if I'm right (which I think I am :P ), but if you have loads of variables than heredoc might be easier to type. However, if you have just, let's say, three variables in a long text, you can just use escaping, e.g. <?php $foo1 = "whatever"; $foo2 = "You're stupid"; $foo3 = "Yes I know"; ?> <u>This</u> is a useless sentence in which I need to print <?php echo $foo; ?> which is pretty useless actually you see? What do you say of that?<br /> <?php echo $foo2; ?><br /> Oh yeah? Well... <?php echo $foo3; ?><br /> What a piece of useless code <?php //more PHP code ?> PS: More info on the heredoc syntax: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.useful.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55067 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55067&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55067&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55067&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55067&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55067&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55067&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55067&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
