[PHP] The <<< convension

[noginn]

I have read a range of comments on php.net manual where people have 
mentioned this, along with it being in the 'print' functions page itself.
I have tryed to use it in some context before but without success, I 
have always been getting an error on some sort.

For example;
<?php
$text = <<<END
This uses the "here document" syntax to output
multiple lines with $variable interpolation. Note
that the here document terminator must appear on a
line with just a semicolon no extra whitespace!
END;
print $text;
?>
I would get this error when running the above script.

*Notice*: Undefined variable: variable in 
*C:\WWW\Apache2\htdocs\php\testprint.php* on line *4*
This uses the "here document" syntax to output multiple lines with 
interpolation. Note that the here document terminator must appear on a 
line with just a semicolon no extra whitespace!

I am a little confused at this point as I followed a comment on the 
manual which had not been corrected by anyone.

I am running PHP 4.3.4
