what is wrong with this <<< syntax ??

Ok, pretty new to this php stuff, but good with perl/python etc.

What is wrong with this php document ???

I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in
E:\xampp\workspace\test1\fragments.php on line 7

from this doc ...

===== start doc
<?
print <<<EOF
asdf
EOF;


print <<<EOFX
asdf
EOFX;
?>
===== end doc

Nothing's wrong with what you've posted, it works fine.

Make sure EOF; and EOFX; are immediately followed by
line breaks (there should not be any blank spaces
after them).
