Re: [PHP] "here" document From: Jordan Pickup (jordan <email protected>)

You don't even need that. The functionality for that is kinda built in.

Below is the contents of test.php:
*************************************
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY <?php print($bodybgcolor); ?>>
<?php
 print ("This output is from php!<BR>");
 print ("So is this...<BR>");
?>
This output is from HTML!<BR>
And can be as many lines as I want.<BR>
<?php print("<HR>Back to PHP!<BR>");
print("I can go back and forth as many times as I want.");
print("I can even stick plain HTML inside functions, if/switch statements,
and loops.");
for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++)
{
?>
This is HTML inside a FOR loop (Round <?php print($i); ?>) <BR>
<?php
}
print("It's really kinda cool!");
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
*******************************************
The difference is that the "here document" function in Perl is used to embed
HTML in the Perl file. PHP is the other way around. It's not HTML embedded
in a Php file, it's Php embedded in an HTML file. Personally, I like it
better this way. With this ability, I can't see any need for perls "here
document" function. This was is easier.
