[RESOLVED] Using constants within an echo

[perrohunter]

Hi !

I come to realize how useful is to use EOF with the echo()

however I have many constants that i'd like to use within my echo <<<EOF statement, this dont show on the page

i already tryed

define('_woot','this should display');
echo <<<EOF
{_woot}
EOF;

Unfortunately, constants cannot be interpolated within a quoted string, whether double-quoted or heredoc-quoted ("<<<EOF"). A couple of the many options:

define("CONSTANT", "a constant value");

// one option:
echo <<<EOD
The value of the constant is: 
EOD;
echo CONSTANT
echo <<<EOD
. You have just seen the value of the constant.
EOD;

// another option:
$text = <<<EOD
The value of the constant is: %s. You have just seen the value of the constant.
EOD;
printf($text, CONSTANT);
