Heredoc/Nowdoc: Echo EOT Hello World. Goodbye! Eot // Output:-// Hello World. // Goodbye!

Heredoc and nowdoc syntaxes in PHP allow defining strings over multiple lines by using an identifier to mark the start and end of the string. They are useful when long strings are needed. The identifier must be unique and cannot appear inside the string. Heredoc delimits the string with the identifier while nowdoc does not interpret variables and escapes in the string.

Heredoc/Nowdoc
So what about the heredoc and nowdoc syntaxes? They provide an alternative way of
defining strings in PHP. They are particularly useful when we need to define a string over
multiple lines.

They work by defining an identifier that will mark the start and end of the string. The
identifier can be any alphanumeric value following the same rules we’d use for variable
names. One important thing to note with the identifier is that as of PHP 7.3 you need to make
sure that it does not appear within the string itself.

Here’s an example of a heredoc.

echo <<<EOT
Hello World.
Goodbye!
EOT;
// Output:-
// Hello World.
// Goodbye!
