RE: [PHP4BETA] heredoc and slashes

The reason for that is this: Lets say that you want the output: this is not a $variable but you would get: this is not a so, you get to escape the '$' but lets say you want to display the string: this is not a \$variable than you would need to escape both characters. so, to make 2 backslashes appear, you need 4 backslashes in a row. it is kinda annoying, but there is no better way. Hope this helped, Jeff Davis. -----Original Message----- From: Stefano Bagnara [mailto:bago@datasail.net] Sent: Friday, January 07, 2000 7:09 AM To: php4beta@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP4BETA] heredoc and slashes <?php $str =<<<EOD a string with \\ two slashes in it..
