Heredoc not working

Heredoc syntax has some strict rules we have to consider;

1 - There shouldn't be any character after opening identifier

True

"$a = <<<HEREDOC"

False

"<<<HEREDOC   "   //Remove space after opening identifier;

2 - There shouldn't be any other character after and before closing identifier except delimiter semicolon ; at the end. Also no indentation is allowed.

True

"HEREDOC;"

False

"HEREDOC  ;"   //Remove space between HEREDOC and ;

False

" HEREDOC;"   //Remove space before HEREDOC

False

"HEREDOC; "   //Remove space after ;

Heredoc string. END;

The parser is complaining because you have whitespace after the angled brackets declaring a heredoc. You need to make sure you're actually following the heredoc syntax, which you can find on the PHP Manual site (specifically: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc).

<?php
$information = <<<ENDHEREDOC
this is my text
ENDHEREDOC;
echo $information;
