How to Escape Ternary Within Here Document?

Hi,

How do I escape a ternary statement within a 'here document' construct?

Example:

echo <<<EOS
Some stuff here.
Some more stuff.
(check($this))?'Even more stuff!':'Enough!'
EOS;

TIA

Mike

Hi Mike,

The answer is simple: You dont.
Only simple variable substituation is done inside a heredoc.
So the easiest solution for you probably is: do the ternary statement
before the heredoc, and use its results (in a plain var) inside the heredoc.
Or start using some templatesystem if that suits your needs.

Good luck.

Well, not the answer I was hoping for, but probably to be expected ;-)
Back to echo-vaganza...

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I also suggested:
"So the easiest solution for you probably is: do the ternary statement
before the heredoc, and use its results (in a plain var) inside the
heredoc."

Isn't that an easy way out?
I mean, compared to echo-vaganza a heredoc is much easier to read.
A few $varnames in it helps to keep your HTML code easily readable,
compared to echos.

Anyway, good luck. :-)

Tried finding echo-vaganza in Google, no returns. Is this a standard term
in PHP5?

Hi Paul,

No, it is a joke.
I never heard of it either untill Michael used it.
Maybe he has invinted the word himself. I don't know.

But Michael's new word clearly conveys what he ment.
echo + extravaganza.

I think it is a great word to describe a echo-mess, compared to cleaner
HTML in a heredoc.
I like it. :-)
