Is example 3 correct? The original example says:

<?php
var_dump(array(<<<EOD
foobar!
EOD
));
?>

According to heredoc explanation, the string should end with "EOD;":

<?php
var_dump(array(<<<EOD
foobar!
EOD;
));
?>

Yes, the example is correct.

The semicolon is a statement terminator, but in the cited example the statement is not finished yet as we're in the middle of providing arguments in a function call.

When used in this way, the closing heredoc identifier must be on a line entirely of its own. E.g. the following is not allowed:

<?php
vr_dump(array(<<<EOD
foobar!
EOD));
?>
