Not familiar with that <<< syntax >>> at all. What is it you're trying to do?

This is it

<?php
function x() {
$test = <<<TEST
this is a test;
TEST;
return($test);
}
?>

You can put anything in the middle(where i have this is a test) and it will return. for example you can do

<?php
function ul() {
$ul= <<<ul
<ul>
<li>button1</li>
<li>button2</li>
</ul>
TEST;
return($ul);
}
?>

it will return the orderlist. probably not a good to abuse but for something unimportant it is good.

thanks
