More for users to learn? Don't you mean less, haha? This is an arbitrary limitation of heredoc, that we can remove (it might not be arbitrary from a yacc perspective, someone would have to explain that if so). >I don't know about other editors, but PhpStorm at least also recognises an >in-line comment explicitly labelling any string, which if anything seems m >ore explicit: > >$query = /** @lang mysql */"SELECT * FROM foo"; Pja. I wouldn't call it more or less explicit than heredoc notation, personally. Olle -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
