EOT used to mean End of Text. reference ASCII-7 notatioin
Yes, but in both cases the operator is used at both the beginning AND
at the end of the heredoc. I normally don't start anything with an
"End" term.
That's what I liked about the underscore (_) -- there's no inference
that it's an acronym.
$whatever = <<<_
whatever
_;
However with that said, one could come up with a dual purpose acronym like:
TO = (TEXT On or TEXT Off)
or if you need three characters.
HDO = (HEREDOC ON or HEREDOC OFF)
I'm sure some clever person could come up with something better.
Cheers,
