ENDOFSTRING PHP Strings

Here's a handy (relatively undocumented) tip. PHP supports the following method of assigning strings (borrowed from Perl)

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. $string = <<<ENDOFSTRING 
  2. This is a string 
  3.  
  4. It can include both 'single' and "double" quotes 
  5. without needing to escape them. However, $variables 
  6. will still be interpolated as they are in double 
  7. quoted strings. Complex variable expressions such as 
  8. {$array['element']} or {$object->property} can also 
  9. be included and will be evaluated if they are included 
  10. in curly braces (they may work without curly braces 
  11. but I tend to include them for added clarity). The 
  12. string will terminate with whatever you specified 
  13. at the start like this: 
  14. ENDOFSTRING;
