Hi Guys,

I did understand the use of php here documents but I would like to know any strong reasons of using them in php.

Thanks

Nyoka

It is more a choice than anything else, but it makes the layout and reading of code easier because you will use less echo statements.

Thanks Mac. It makes sense. I just thought as well maybe they wanted to copy the python doc structure when they implemented the feature.

It also makes things a lot easier when it comes to string escape sequences, especially since we have to encapsulate the html code inside the php code.
