html>
<head>
<title>
Displaying text from PHP
</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>
Display text from PHP
</h1>
Here's what PHP has to say:
<br>
<br>
<?php
echo <<<END
This example uses
"here document" syntax to display all
the text until the ending token is reached.
END;
?>
</body>
</html>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_VARIABLE or T_END_HEREDOC or T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES or T_CURLY_OPEN in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.3\www\phphere.php on line 23

Where I've made wrong? please advise! Thank you.

Use the formatted code button to post code here! Check for whitespace between between the identifiers

The can be no whitespace before/inside. Before echo there is whitespace. Delete the "spaces" until echo is against <?php, then use enter button to put echo on a new line, and then use the space bar (which is not the same as whitespace) to arrange the sentence. This whitespace typically appears when you copy code from a web page, for example.

Language: PHP
<?phpecho <<<EODThis"example"usesheredocumentsyntaxtodisplayallthetextuntiltheendingtokenisreached.EOD;?>
<?php
echo <<<EOD
This "example" uses here document syntax to display all the text until the ending token is reached.
EOD;
?>
