HEREDOC Help

[Quijian]

I've been trying to put html in php by using the heredoc syntax. I all I get is a parse error. I am running PHP 4.
This is th code:

echo <<<END 
<font size="3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="mail.php">Mail</a> 
.:. <a href="messages.php">Messages</a> .:. <a href="accounttools.php">Tools</a></font>
END;

Thanks for your help.

There is nothing wrong with the HEREDOC snippet up there.
I pasted and executed on PHP 4.3.10 without errors.
The parse error must be somwhere else.

hi,

on my site (PHP 4.3.10-2) the code above works withouth any problem.
Pls give us the entire page code.
Also the line number of the parse error is very useful.


May be `END' is a reserved word, try to use something like:

echo <<<ENDX
...
ENDX;

Regards,
Marcel
