Answer 2

+2 A:

Here's how a heredoc could be used:

if($flag)
{
    echo <<<HTML
        <div>This will show if \$flag is true </div>
HTML;

}

If you don't want variable interpolation, you have to escape possible varnames as I have above. Alternatively, you can use a nowdoc with PHP 5.3 onwards:

if($flag)
{
    echo <<<'HTML'
        <div>This will show if $flag is true </div>
HTML;

}

Answer 3

A:

PHP also has a nowdoc syntax that works like heredoc, but similar to single quoted strings, these doc blocks do not get parsed.
