Description:
------------
On function.print.html you mention print <<<END

Now as everybody knows, the shell and perl both have ways to "quote"
"END" to turn off $ interpolation.

However for PHP it is a mystery how to do this.

Say explicitly whether of not PHP has such a capability, and if so
how.

(As it stands, you don't even say if we can use anything other than
"END", e.g., "MYEND".)

The print documentation is not meant to explain PHP syntax, string 
(heredoc) or otherwise. However, the documentation you desire is located 
here:

http://php.net/types.string

It appears you're interested in nowdoc, which is the sister of heredoc.

OK. Please put a see-also link to it on function.print.html, as that's what we hit when searching for <<< in certain search engines.

You should use our lookup search then:
http://php.net/<<< sends you to the correct page :)

I guess a seealso from echo and print would be useful though.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

What your looking for is possible as of PHP 5.3.0 using the NOWDOC syntax, its available at:
http://php.net/<<<

However I have added a link in the see also section to the HEREDOC section for both echo and print.
