it would be nice to do something like this;


echo(qq~This make it real "easy" to output HTML~);

vs

echo("This makes it a real \"pain\" to output HTML");

This is a feature in Perl where it could be qq! ! or any other symbol after the qq is used as a delimeter.

thanks,

jeff

Obscure syntax has never been well-embraced by php.

besides, in this example you can just

?>This make it really really "easy" to output HTML <?php

Or 'single "quotes"' or <<<HEREDOC
