What exactly does it mean.

BTW:
PHP .net search breaks if you search for <<<


It's heredoc syntax.

Ok, let's gather some stats to see how many people actually use the heredoc syntax. I created this quick little form to gather the data. It's takes 2 seconds (literally) - vote here:

I'm interested in knowing if this is used a lot. If it is, then I may consider tying it into my code (if it calls for it).
