There are typically called a 'heredoc' or 'here document'. basically it changes the double quotation mark(") to
'content' (in this case). To start, do this <<<content

and to end it just type content;
on a line by itself.

The example you showed does echo the stuff out. It sets all the internal html to $var and echo's $var afterwards.

Hope this helps!

I saw this used in a script, but after a couple of searches didn't come up with anything on php.net.

<?
$var=<<<content
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<font color="red">
$phpvarhere
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
content;
echo $var;
?>

So, does this allow you to output mixed html/php without having to escape offending characters with no echo or print?
Conceptually, would the syntax above work?

TIA
