Eof???

Are there any PHP coders who could tell me about, or point to a reference about:

<<<EOF
...
EOF;

It is used regularly in a script I am trying to modify however I have no idea how it works... the code is very complicated. I figured <<<EOF starts something whilst EOF ends it....

thanks.

looks like Perl, are you sure it's PHP?

i dont understand the nature of perl, its the script found at www.votingscript.com , i bought it off this forum...

doesnt perl need a header something like # usr/bin (or something similar)? ... i cant see this anywhere ... :-o

It is a HERETO string, it comes from sh actually, and has been borrowed by both perl and php...

it means output till you match this string to stdout... or a shorthand way of printing out a many lines of stuff
