I know I can make a new variable by simply saying $var = stuff

  • 0

I know I can make a new variable by simply saying $var = "stuff", but how would I make one like this:

<?php
$var = ?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
<? ; ?>

Do you see what I am getting at? Is there a way to create a variable without having to be restrictive and using = "";

Thanks for your help.

    Sounds like a job for Heredoc

    $var = <<<HTML
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
HTML;

    Note, that the end token (here HTML;) must be on a line for itself without any leading or trailing whitespaces (except the newline at the end).

    Additional you can just put everything into a string like usual, but with newlines

    $var = '<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>';

    Or add newline characters yourself

    $var = '<html>' . PHP_EOL;
$var .= '<head>' . PHP_EOL;
$var .= '</head>' . PHP_EOL;
$var .= '<body>' . PHP_EOL;
$var .= '</body>' . PHP_EOL;
$var .= '</html>';

    or

    $var = "<html>\n<head>\n</head>\n<body>\n</body>\n</html>";
