heredoc code rendering blank page?

[__greg]

I'm trying to start writing some of my code using heredoc strings instead of double-quote, but I'm running into an error.

I try to preview this file on my local machine and just get a blank page. But when I upload to my server. It works fine! I've checked for spaces, tabs, etc.... nothing.

Is there a place you can turn on/off heredoc code in php.ini?

I'm using Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) PHP/5.0.4 on a G5 Mac with OS X Tiger

<?php 
error_reporting(E_ALL); 

echo <<<EOT 
testing!!! 
EOT;
?>

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

$str = <<<EOT
This is some text.
EOT;
echo $str;

same things happens. still just a blank page

[rikmoncur]

make sure that on the EOT lines there's no white space.
everything can look ok but an invisible bit of white space will throw an error!

[__greg]

nope, there's not white space.

is there ANYTHING else it could be besides white space?

and scroll down to the 'warning'

[__greg]

still nothing. I've double-checked everything over and over.

must be something on my local machine that's causing this. so weird.
