ID: 9387 Updated by: torben Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: This is not a bug. Check the third sentence below, from the PHP Manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php: Another way to delimit strings is by using here doc syntax ("<<<"). One should provide an identifier after <<<, then the string, and then the same identifier to close the quotation. The closing identifier must begin in the first column of the line. The label used must follow the same naming rules as any other label in PHP: it must contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores, and must start with a non-digit character or underscore. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-21 17:21:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED] When you are using doc string quoting or something, php doesn't recognize the thing that stops it if indented at all or something. There are two examples to illistrate my point: echo <<<BARFY This is a good example. It works perfectly. BARFY echo <<<BARFY This is a bad example. It fails miserably. Note the space before BARFY. BARFY Maybe this is a bug, maybe it is a feature. I don't know, but please fix it or make note of it in the manual. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
