You don't need heredoc for a page that doesn't have any PHP code in it. file: HelloWorld.php ---------------------------------------- <html> <body> <p>Hello World</p> </body> </html> ---------------------------------------- This is a prefectly valid PHP page. >> Can I mix and match file formats (php/html) in a single site? > > Yes.

How would you do that? The options I can think of involve: 1) You have to either configure the web server to serve everything (including images, flash content, javascript, CSS, etc.) through PHP -- or at least anything without a handled mime-type. 2) You have to configure the web server to use something like mod_rewrite to point URLs to the correct script. 3) You create a folder for every unique page in the entire site and each folder contains exactly one file named either index.php or index.html (or whatever the default document name is for your web server).
