I'm having a real love/hate relationship with PHP's here-doc support.

I love that it spares me from breaking in and out of PHP mode or using echo 
and back slashes for outputting largish bodies of dynamic HTML....

but I hate a) that the EOT; has to be the first thing on the line and b) I 
find that here-doc seems to make scripts unparsable on many occasions and I 
can never find the bug. I'd say 1/5 times I wind up breaking the script 
just sticking an:

        echo <<<EOT
        <table width="450" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" 
bordercolor="#000000">
        <tr>
        <td bgcolor=orange>
        <font color=red>{$error}</font><P>
        </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
EOT;

into a page some place. Any suggestions from anyone?

Appreciated.
