I am able to initialize member variables with strings using single or
double quotes. Is a string a scalar?
Mainly, is there a way to initialize a member variable with a
multi-line string? I think there should be.
Thanks

This is not really PHP bug but just missing documentation.
(or I just couldn't find the place where it's documented :)
You can only put static scalars as the default value.
