The fact that you haven't found use in it doesn't mean that others haven't. And we're not talking about something significant which has risk associated with it and/or impacts other areas. I think if the syntax is confusing we can go for just a single quote as part of the operator which doesn't make it look like just another plain old string, e.g.: $bar =3D<<<'FOO Sdjfslk Sdfkj FOO; Andi > -----Original Message----- > From: Antony Dovgal [mailto:tony@daylessday.org] > Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 10:51 AM > To: Stas Malyshev > Cc: 'PHP Internals' > Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] nowdocs again >=20 > On 30.01.2008 21:40, Stanislav Malyshev wrote: > > Waiting for "better syntax" when there's nobody willing to actually > work on this > > syntax is just another way to say "kill it". >=20 > "Nobody willing to actually work on this" effectively means "nobody > actually needs it". >=20 > -- > Wbr, > Antony Dovgal >=20 > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
