It appears that the heredoc string type breaks if the script is in mac text format.

This has been noticed before http://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200110/msg00815.html, but i havn't been able to find a bugreport?

Im working in Windows with UltraEdit, and the following code breaks, when I use UltrEdit to convert from dos format to mac format:

<?php
	
	echo <<<EOD
		foo
EOD;
?>

This error is produced:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /usr/home/nej/public_html/heredoc.php on line 5

The 1st character before 'EOD;' must be a newline as defined by your operating system. Meaning that it can only be \r if you are using a MAC or an OS where \r is EOL.

Cool with me, I was just taken by suprise, by this behavior.

This needs to be documented sometime, assigning to self.

This is now documented:
