Another new feature to PHP4 is a new syntax is modeled after Perl's "here printing." It is possible to display complete portions of HTML code by flanking them with either a print or echo instruction and an end label. Unlike Perl, the operator used is not a double less than sign (<<), but a triple less than sign (<<<) so as to distinguish it from the binary shift operator. For example:

<?php

$version = phpversion();
$valstr = "Example of HerePrinting\n";

echo "<hr><br>/n";

print <<< mylabel

mylabel;

echo "<hr><br>/n";
?>
