Hi there,
what really would be nice, if PHP would have a more advanced way of
quoting strings similar to Perl. E.g. the q{} and qq{} function are
really helpful there or that i can use e.g. $var = !my string 'hallo'!;
and i don't have to backslash ' and " inside the string.
another thing that i find useful in Perl is the unless construct. I
sometimes find it more readable to use "unless($error) {...} " instead
of "if (!$error) {...}".
I think this would be nice additions, perhaps you'll consider
implementing them in future releases.
Thanx

If you want to have longer strings, use heredoc
$var = <<< EOT
Some text with double quotes(") as well as single ones(')
and even $variables
EOT;

This reminds me my days when I used to program in Pascal. The latter has
repeat until with reversed logic. It was PITA to find the expression for
it.I think this would be nice additions, perhaps you'll consider
implementing them in future releases.Thanx

P.S.
just my thoughts
