[PHP] Why does heredoc fail in this instance?

[Peter J. Schoenster]

Hi

If I use $snippet = ""; and escape the quotes in the block then it 
works. But if I use it as is below, it fails with no useful error 
message. Why?

Thanks,

Peter

  function GetAddCommentSnippet($args) {
          $topic_id             = $args[id];
          $return_page  = $args[return_page];

        $snippet = <<<EOS
<form action="$this->this_cgi" method="post">
<br>Your First Name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" value="">
<br>Your Last Name: <input type="text" name="LastName"  value="">
<br>Your Email Address: <input type="text" name="EmailAddress"  value="">
<br>Your Comments: 
<br>
<textarea cols="40" rows="4" name="Comments"></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="submit now">  
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="AddComment">
<input type="hidden" name="response_to_id" value="$topic_id">
<input type="hidden" name="r" value="$return_page">
</form>
EOS;      
        
        return $snippet;


  } // END GetAddCommentSnippet
