What's this kind of syntax in PHP?
What is the name for the “<<<” operator?
In a example (specifically http://code.google.com/p/php-pdo-wrapper-class/) I've seen this:
$sql = <<<SQL
CREATE TABLE mytable (
ID int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
FName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
LName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
Age int(11) NOT NULL,
Gender enum('male','female') NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=11 ;
SQL;
$db->run($sql);
what is this syntax (I don't use php that much). I can't find anything on google because it skips the <<<
thingy.
