Hi, can anyone please give me complete working code for here document in PHP? Please do not give extracts of the example like

 

<?php

echo <<

 

Hi, I want an example of php here document.

Not the extracts of php code, rather complete code.

I mean starting with and ending with .

Please put code only if you were able to interpret/ compile the code succussfully.

 

END;

 

?>

 

If you could provide the solution, I am thankful to you. Otherwise too thankful.... Just kidding

Looks like you are looking for "heredoc"... Here's a working example:

 

$str = Example of string
spanning multiple lines
using heredoc syntax.
EOD;

echo $str;
?>

 

If that isn't what you are looking for, you'll need to clarify what you need.

I read all these example. I copied the example and embedded in html tags. But when I try to compile them parsing error occurs. Did your code interpret well? If yes please give me html embedded code.

 

Post the code you are working with/what error you get, and I can take a look and see what the issues is.

<?php

$name = "Joe Smith";

$occupation = "Programmer";

echo <<

 

This is a heredoc section.

For more information talk to $name, your local $occupation.

 

Thanks!

 

EOF;

 

$toprint = <<

 

Hey $name! You can actually assign the heredoc section to a variable!

 

EOF;

echo strtolower($toprint);

 

 

?>

Actually I was using EasyPHP 3.o package where the parsing problem occurred. I tried to run same code on Wamp Server and it runs. Thanks to all of you for taking time for me. Thanks a lot:D

I was trying to find out where the actual problem was and I found very strange reason. If I try to add space before closing here document identifier END; parse error happens. Otherwise the code runs well. I did not find any explanation for that as PHP supports any no space to be included.
