    I am quite new to php. This code is not working and shows error at the last line

    <html>
    <head><title>Example of here document: HTML embedded inside PHP script</title></head>
    <body>
    <?php
    $name = "Joe Smith";
    $occupation = "Programmer";
    echo <<<EOF

    This is a heredoc section.
    For more information talk to $name, your local $occupation.

    Thanks!

    EOF;

    $toprint = <<<EOF

    Hey $name! You can actually assign the heredoc section to a variable!

    EOF;
    echo strtolower($toprint);


    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    Can anyone please tell me where the problem is? I think code is right, may be some header file is required for here document.

    Works fine for me. Outputs
    <html>
<head><title>Example of here document: HTML embedded inside PHP script</title></head>
<body>

This is a heredoc section.
For more information talk to Joe Smith, your local Programmer.

Thanks!

    Still the same problem is occurring. If the solved code is working well on your server, may be problem is somewhere else. I presumed that header file might be needed. Or am I missing some required step to execute the code? I am using EasyPHP 3.0 package

    use WAMP 2 server..
    it contains apache + mysql + php + sqlite etc..
    just open it and then place your script in www folder the run the script.
    and see if you still get errors..

    I was trying to find out what went wrong with the previous PHP 3.0 package. I came to arrive at interesting conclusion and the problem was with indenting END; closing identifier for here document. When I remove any space before END; code runs well otherwise it gives parse error. This is little bis strange for me as I have read php takes care of multiple spaces.
