No, to my knowledge, even PHP3 (I honestly don't remember if it was in PHP/FI, but I don't think so) allowed you to use the same name for multiple heredoc's. It just works like the for/next concept in BASIC.... for this = this to that (do something), next this. Meaning that as soon as the condition is met (this = that), release this. And as far as I know, Perl is the same, as are any other languages where heredoc syntax is present. That's kind of dumbing it down to the point of changing it, perhaps, but I hope I'm at least speaking English. On 5/2/07, Richard Lynch <ceo@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

At least, I *still* thought they had to be unique... :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
