Usually nowhere. Features that have yet to be documented are probably so
experimental, new, unfinished, or whatever, that documentation written now
would be wrong by the time those features are stable.

However, if you're just wanting to learn more about SimpleXML
specifically, Adam wrote a nice article about it yesterday. You can find
it here:

Hope that helps.

I don't know the answer to your question but...

Did you know that it's called the heredoc operator? You
may be able to find information if you search google for "heredoc php"
and/or "heredoc operator php".


hth,
Chris.

Try searching for "heredoc".

I always look in the manual when I'm looking for documentation, but
that's just me. Hell, call me crazy, but I'd probably look in the
chapter on the PG functions... but that's just me... and I have no idea
what I'm doing.

From PostgreSQL source (~/pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c):

8<
/* ---
 * Escaping arbitrary strings to get valid SQL strings/identifiers.

 * Replaces "\\" with "" and "'" with "''".
 * length is the length of the buffer pointed to by
 * from.  The buffer at to must be at least 2*length + 1 characters

size_t
PQescapeString(char *to, const char *from, size_t length)
8<
I presume the PHP function is just a wrapper around this one (but did 
not actually check).

HTH,

Joe
