<<< EOPAGE html formatting in PHP?
I am running PHP 4.3.10.10, WinXP/IIS and I have been using some code examples
from the book, 'PHP/mySQL Bible'. There is an example where they use the
following script to format/render the html. This eliminates having to use the
echo or print statement: <?php // Now lay out the page //
-------------------- $page_str = <<< EOPAGE <html> <head> <title>PHP</title>
</head> <body> <div align='center'> <!-- place a variable in the query string
'bub=variableName' --> Test the code for $_GET[bub] </div> </body> </html>
EOPAGE; echo $page_str; ?> Evidently '$page_str = <<< EOPAGE' in conjuntion
with 'EOPAGE;' and 'echo $page_str;' eliminate the need for an echo statement.
All I know is that it works. Can anyone elaborate on this? Any feedback is
greatly appreciated.

to output a whole long string.
The syntax you're seeing:
$page_str = <<< EOPAGE
....
EOPAGE;
is known as 'heredoc':
