Answer 1

Remeber no space between { and $ when doing variable substitution. And the HEREDOC terminator (EOC in your case) must start on the first column and end with a semicolon.

Try this:

$date = date('d-M-Y');
$con = <<<EOC
  <style>...</style>
  </head>
  <table border="0" width="500">
  <tr>
    <td colspan ="5" style="..." nowrap>{$_REQUEST['SOMEPHP']}</td>
    <td style="..." nowrap>This report was created on {$date}</td>
  </tr>
  </table>

  <table border="1" width="700"> 
  <tr>
    <td class="tddata" bgcolor="#808080" colspan="1">Mode</td> 
    <td class="tddata" bgcolor="#808080">{$_POST['MODE']}</td> 
    <td class="tddata" bgcolor="#808080">Type</td> 
    <td class="tddata" bgcolor="#808080" colspan="1">{$_POST['TYPE']}</td> 
  </tr>
EOC;

// loop example
for ($i=0; $i < 10; $i++) {
    $con .= <<<EOC
        <p>{$i}</p>
EOC;
