Re: [PHP3] multilined string assignment like perl's <<END syntax ?

Hm, I've just tried that (copy&paste from the manual), and ended up with a parse error on the $str = >>>EOD line. I have a question for developers: is there a newer build of PHP4 than the b3? pre-beta4 php.exe fails with a msgbox saying "The procedure entry point php-ini-path could not be located in the dynamic link library php4ts.dll" followed by an "Internal server error" in the browser. (Yes, I've tried both b3 and pre-b4 php4ts.dlls.) I'm not a programmer, don't want to compile anything. Just working binaries for win32 env, please.

I'm running 4.03b and the parser does not recognise the >>> syntax.
