Source: Page 110 of PDF version of PHP Manual

In the PDF manual the here doc symbol (<<<) is displayed as a double angle bracket and a single angle bracket, rather than three individual angle brackets. This looks as follows:

?<

(provided the server doesn't alter the characters as this form is submitted)

THis drove me crazy for a while. I tried << and I even copied the characters from the PDF document. Perl uses << so I thought I had an operational issue with PHP. Finally, I decided to check the HTML version of the manual and found out that it should be <<<. I'm happy that it wasn't my installation, but I did spend a few hours checking things over when they could have been use better elsewhere.

Other than that, I have read the manual backwards and forward and found no other inconsistencies. I have had PHP running for two months without a hitch and am busily converting Cold Fusion code into PHP.

Best,

Mike :)
