php multiline strings in the code [ 954 views ]
Goal: use multiline strings in the code
I have a simple select statement. I want to store it in a variable but I want to forget the concatenation.
We can use the heredoc syntax.
$query = <<<TEXT
select a.*
FROM (
select count(*) cnt, s.thunder thd, s.version ver
from ta_my_stat s
group by 2, 3
) a
order by 1 desc, 2 asc;
TEXT;
Only one restriction! In the last line we can put only the closer tag with semicolon. No space, tab or other characters accepted before and after of that!
