What is <<<_END?

Question

I\'m new to PHP and don\'t understand what the point of <<<_END is. Could someone please explain when this should be used? I\'ve looked at various exam

Answer 1

This signifies the beginning of a heredoc (a multi-line string that allows you to use quotation marks in the middle, unescaped) that ends when you encounter the _END

It can be useful to define HTML in one of these if the goal is to assign it to a variable or pass it to a function rather than printing it to the web server immediately.
