NYCPHP Meetup

[Edward Potter]

this is where php gets a bit ugly.

Use echo, print, single quotes, double quotes, escape those
backslashes, use print <<<_EOT_, but now now you have an ugly indent.
I think perl has a bit better sytax for handling the embedding  of
html code:

qq|put all my ugly code here, variables, double quotes, you name it|;

Why can't we do something similar in php after all these years? Maybe
you can?  I just don't know about it.
