In fact, we are in agreement here :) I was just simplifying for the
example at hand. And as for calling functions directly, also add
constants :(
However, it's easy enough to assign a constant to a variable and embed
it in a HEREDOC, and also easy to wrap a function in a method,
especially when your HEREDOC is within a method itself:
define('MSG', 'My name is');
class X {
function html($text) {
return htmlspecialchars($text);
}
function output($name) {
$msg = MSG;
echo <<<HTML
<p>$msg {$this->html($name)}</p>
HTML;
}
}
$x = new X();
$x->output('silly "rockstar" name like <&>');
