Probably with really long strings or pages of data so you don't have to worry about quotes etc. Pretty much comes down to personal preference I think. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The text in a heredoc expression is vanilla, no escape sequences needed, so there's less worry about typos. I find it one of the strongest features of PHP as compared to other scripting languages.

[PHP] heredoc syntax
anyone know why heredoc syntax might not work with php5/apache installed. I can't get even the simplest strings in heredoc syntax to work and I've tried just cutting and pasting other peoples stuff in that syntax as well, and still no luck thx.

Heredoc syntax is pretty rigid and it's easy to have it wrong invisibly. $varname = END Text of string END; The first END must be at the end of the line, nothing after it, not even a blank space. The last END must be at the beginning of the line, not before it, not even a blank space.

The last END must be at the beginning of the line, not before it, not even a blank space. And don't forget that the last END must be followed by a semi-colon ONLY, no other characters on that line... ;-) -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
