Tried looking in the manual, but >don't even know what I'm looking for! This way of entering text is called a heredoc. The syntax goes like this: $varname = <<<ENDSTRING text ENDSTRING; ENDSTRING is any string you want, typed both at the beginning and at the end of the string. The first ENDSTRING must be at the end of the first line, with nothing following it, not even a space. And the ENDSTRING on the last line must be at the start of the line, with nothing before it, not even a space, and nothing following it other than the semicolon.
