Thanks to those that taught me to use heredoc to embed html in
php. I don't want to start the html in php vs php in html
discussion again.,
heredoc works a treat for that which I am doing except:
In the generated html I have a number of checkboxes. I fill
in the checkboxes from a boolean value in a mySQL table. To make
this easier I use a function that takes the boolean and return
either 'checked' or ''. This worked well when I was
concatenating the html into a variable rather than using heredoc,
but it was really messy.
Short, simple question: is there anyway to get php to evaluate a
function while in a heredoc block ?
I know I could assign the results of using the function to
variables outside of the heredoc block or I could break the block
for the function, but the first is cumbersome and the second gets
rid of the clarity of the heredoc approach.

You can't do this with any string syntax.

I'm afraid this is the only way. Maybe fill an array with the return of
functions?

You'd be right back where you started from, php-snippets in HTML-blocks...

Possible in heredoc:
- scalar variables
- scalar array-values
- scalar object-values
Not possible in heredoc:
- functions/results
- constants
The last is a great irritation.

<?php

Well, yeah.
The reason for using constants imho is their deployability in functions,
and the fact they never change.
$CONSTANTS will not be a superglobal, so in every function where they have
to be used in such a syntax this would be deployed, or one has to make it
global/use $GLOBALS. Not really a solution, just another workaround. I'd
like to see "{E_USER_ERROR} " work. For now, it's usually either
concatenating small strings or temporarily assign it to a variable, elas.

Indeed. But since you can use object values, you can overload a helper
class using the __get overload. So instead of something like:
echo <<<EOT
<input type="checkbox" name="$name"{ge t_checked_text( $id)}>
EOT;
which unfortunately doesn't work, you could do something like:
echo <<<EOT
<input type="checkbox" name="$name"{$c hecked->$id}>
EOT;
This might be overkill for your needs but it has worked well for me in
the past. Good luck.
