It does not recognise multiple lines, it writes the lot as one.

Also is echo the only thing it does??

Does this code do anymore than what can be achieved with the heredoc syntax? Not to mention the heredoc syntax doesn't require escaping characters everywhere...

I imagine its mostly a learning experience. I'm just curious. Am i not right in thinking it only needs to cancel double quotes?

oh, found a bug. It doesn't cancel out dollar signs.

for example, if you do the following;

<html>
<script>

function $(id){
return document.getElementById(id);
}

</script>
</html>

The Simple way to fix this problem would be to be surround the full thing with single quotes rather than double quotes.

Heredoc syntax would also require dollar signs to be escaped.

If I was going to echo a big chunk of arbitrary text it would be as

?>
<html>
<script>

function $(id){
return document.getElementById(id);
}

</script>
</html>
<?php

If I needed to capture that to a variable

ob_start();
?>
<html>
<script>

function $(id){
return document.getElementById(id);
}

</script>
</html>
<?php
$variable = ob_get_clean();

Although in both cases I'd need to properly escape "<?php" if it appears.
