Hi Rob, It looks like this error came about in the course of re-formatting. I looked at earlier versions of the same script, and the ending tag was flush left. So also was the rest of the html. It probably was a good idea to indent the html, not so good with the heredoc. That points up the reason I limit my use of this feature--because I prefer to preserve the logical indentation of my code, and interposing the intended indentation of some remote document is seldom compatible with this.
