for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
in the description of the bug i've said that "Terminating an heredoc
without a newline cause a parse error" ...
if you try an heredoc into an eval, terminating the stuff without a new
line after the heredoc's terminator, you get a parse error for evalued
code!
[code]
echo eval("return <<< EOF\r\nAll Works Correctly!\r\nEOF;");
[/code]
So there is this "real" problem (not related to other characters into
the terminator line)
Or the heredoc's manual page need to be updated with a new sentence,
like
[quote]
Remember that after the heredoc terminator is necessary a new line.
[/quote]
Or this, possible, bug need to be corrected

This doesn't make sense!
Why an heredoc needs, to works correctly, a line only for it, without
other stuff after the terminator (with a semicolon)?
If there is a terminator and an ending semicolon, the command
terminates there, so i should add other commands in the same line
without problems.
I don't think this is a "really" bug, but it is a "logical" bug.
If the heredoc terminator is founded and there is a semicolon to
terminate the line, a new command can be executed, like all other
structures in php.
i can write
<?php
$a = 1; $c = 'daniele_dll'; $b = 'test'; $a = $b; $b = $c; echo $a . $b
. $c; echo print_r($_SERVER, true); die("ASD");
?>
without problems, so have heredoc that doesn't let to me to add
multiple commands after the heredoc termination (plus semicolon)
doesn't make sense for me.
There is a particular reason to manage heredoc in this way?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
The terminating new line is obligatory
