A not well documented feature of heredocs or <<< in PHP is that it returns the string, making it possible to use with variables as well as with echo or print statements/constructs/functions:


$variable = 'Edge'
$toprint = <<< END
Something with an $variable

END;

The output wil be

Something with an Edge
