Isn't that form (sans quote marks) deprecated and frowned upon?
<?php
error_reporting( E_ALL );
echo <<<EOF
BROWSER: $_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT]
EOF;
Why would cleaner, perfectly error free code be frowned upon?
I'm not dissing heredoc syntax, it has its uses (now and again) but it's
far from "clean", especially when embedded deep in classes - the major
cause being the delimeters insistance on being at the very start of the
line. It's just *not* pretty IMHO. Certainly not girl code [1]
The frowning surely would be at the mixing of logic and presentation,
regardless how that mix happens (heredoc, echo, jumping in and out of
PHP tags, sprintf, etc).
Cheers,
Rich
