< in ' ' and PHP shouts about syntax error :(

#1 (**permalink**) 10-06-2003

Hi!
I`ve got a problem again:(
I almoust finished my project and I was doing stupid forms in html to display as
frontend. I have something like that:
<?php
$wyswietl[] = '
<html>
blahblahblah';

and php shouts:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in D:\Incoming\WWW\etak.pl
\developer_d
isplay.inc on line 3 
:((
I was sure that a variable can have >1 lines
TIA for any sugestions:(

You need heredoc syntax
<?php
$wyswietl[] = <<<EOT
<html>
blahblahblah
EOT;
?>

I tried it out, but got no parse error - your syntax above is valid. Maybe
the error is somewhere else?

You cannot indent the end token in a heredoc, it must be placed on
the first column. (corrected to demonstrate)
