    If you’re just echoing the form you don’t even need PHP’s heredoc syntax. Just break out of PHP using the closing delimiter, then return to PHP once you’re done outputting the HTML form.

    EDIT: OK, so you need the form output to be stored in a variable, but you also want it to be printed to the browser? No problem, use output buffering (in particular, ob_start() and ob_get_flush():

    <?php

// Begin output buffering
ob_start();

// Break out of PHP...

?>

<form method="post" >
<table border="0" cellpadding="0"  cellspacing="0" id="reserv_table">
<tr>
<td><span id="message"><b>for you : 9€</b> &nbsp;</span></td>
<td><input type="text" name="_membre" id="_membre" style="width: 40px;" class="text disabled" disabled="disabled" /></td>
<td valign="top">
<table>
<tr> 

<?php

// Back to PHP, store the HTML in $form AND print it to the browser
$form = ob_get_flush();

?>
