Re: [PHP4BETA] Re: [PHP3] multilined string assignment like perl's <<END syntax ?

(SMPT server seems f**ked up, hope this gets through.) Doh! I've just read the notes at the bottom of the manual page: herouth at zend.com 08-Feb-2000 01:22 About that little Heredoc problem, it's quite simple. The doc is wrong, you have to reverse the ">" signs. And true, you have to flush it to the left.     $str = <<< EOD     this is the first line     this is the second but they both had four spaces in front EOD; Works fine.

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.
