teddyb Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 <?php function documentType(){ echo <<<HEREDOC <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" ` ` "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> HEREDOC; } ?> you included the bracket for closing the function in your string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" ` ` "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <?php function documentType() { echo <<<HEREDOC } HEREDOC; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddyb Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 KDM, that will most likely not work as it will come accross the first <? in <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and go into interpret mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
