can you set a variable this way?

[Anon]

In perl you can set a variable like this:

$var=<<EOF;
bunch of text and $'s here
EOF

Can you do something similar with php?

Got errors with the above example.

Thanks,

You were so close... 🙂

$str = <<<EOD
Example of string

using heredoc syntax.
EOD;

it's in the manual in the strings section, under 'heredoc'.

A forum, a FAQ, email notification, what else do you need?

Thanks Vincent,

I tried several things but not 3 '<'.

This saves me a lot of work! 🙂
