Answer 1

You're talking about heredoc syntax. Example:

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

Answer 2

That's PHP Heredocs. There's an example on the manual page:

<?php
class foo {
    public $bar = <<<EOT
bar
EOT;
}
?>

The heredoc starts with <<< folowed by an identifier, and ends with that same identifier followed by a semicolon. Note that the end identifier must start at the beginning of a line, and cannot be indented.
