The Weird and The Wonderful

$lotsOfStuff = <<<someName
Here you type in whatever you wish
And it all becomes part of a single
String.  For example, create a table in
a natural flow:
  <table>
    <tr>  <th>HUSBAND</th>      <th>WIVES</th>                   </tr>
    <tr>  <td>Scaramouche</td>  <td>Kimberley</td>               </tr>
    <tr>  <td>$here</td>        <td>$hellion[1],$hellion[2]</td> </tr>
  </table>
... etc
someName;

foreach ($Data as $d)
    ECHO "<tr><td>${d['recid']}</td><td>${d['name']}</td><td>${d['age']}</td></tr>";

Or you can use "... $s[recid] ... etc" (note no single quotes in the array indexer).

This means there is a double standard, one when you are outside a double quoted string and one when you are inside.

However, I still stand by my statement that it is not a good idea under any circumstance to tell people to use [context dependent syntax], the chance of the user misunderstanding and using it in other places simply because it works is too high.

Enclose the variable name in curly braces to explicitly specify the end of the name.
