HEREDOC syntax has no problems with tabs anywhere except the
termination mark. For example:
<?php
$text =<<<EOT
I can have tabs here, no problem.
EOT; // I can't have a tab before this terminator though.
?>
About the only *real* problem you'll face with HEREDOC vs.
multiline quotes is using name-keyed arrays and superglobals. For
example, you can use $foo[0], but you can't use $foo['bar'] or
$_SESSION['foobar'].
