PHP using Gettext inside EOF string

Question

I use PHP s EOF string to format HTML content without the hassle of having to escape quotes etc  How can I use the  function inside this string    lt  php      str    lt  lt  lt EOF      lt p gt Hello lt  p gt       lt p gt  lt       World      gt  lt  p gt  EOF      echo  str    gt

As far as I can see  you just added heredoc by mistake No need to use ugly heredoc syntax here  Just remove it and everything will work    lt p gt Hello lt  p gt   lt p gt  lt       World      gt  lt  p gt

As far as I can see in the manual  it is not possible to call functions inside HEREDOC strings  A cumbersome way would be to prepare the words beforehand    lt  php       world      World          str    lt  lt  lt EOF      lt p gt Hello lt  p gt       lt p gt  world lt  p gt  EOF      echo  str    gt    a workaround idea that comes to mind is building a class with a magic getter method   You would declare a class like this   class Translator    public function   get  name      return    name      Does the gettext lookup          Initialize an object of the class at some point      translate   new Translator      You can then use the following syntax to do a gettext lookup inside a HEREDOC block        str    lt  lt  lt EOF      lt p gt Hello lt  p gt       lt p gt   translate- gt World  lt  p gt  EOF      echo  str    gt     translate- gt World will automatically be translated to the gettext lookup thanks to the magic getter method   To use this method for words with spaces or special characters  e g  a gettext entry named Hello World        you will have to use the following notation     translate- gt   Hello World           This is all untested but should work      Update  As  mario found out  it is possible to call functions from HEREDOC strings after all  I think using getters like this is a sleek solution  but using a direct function call may be easier  See the comments on how to do this
