Heredoc or <<<EOF in PHP

Heredoc is a way to create string in PHP with more lines but without using quotations. Here's an example

<?php
 function some_function(){
  $content = '<a onClick="test(\'somevalue\')">Test</a>';  
  return $content;
 }
?>

can be written

<?php
 function some_function(){
  $content = <<<EOF
   <a onClick="test('somevalue')">Test</a>
  EOF;
  return $content;
 }
?>

Notice that using the heredoc we don't have to escape the quote('), that also apply to double quotes("). The following example also does the same thing.

<?php
 function some_function(){
  return <<<EOF
   <a onClick="test('somevalue')">Test</a>
  EOF;
 }
?>

The EOF itself can be replace by any string you want. Using a string like YHRGT is a good idea to make sure that string won't appear in your content.
