[thelist] \r\n and single quotes in php

[Kelly Hallman]

Dunstan,

Check out the heredoc syntax on this page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
Note the warning that the closing identifier cannot be delimited.
This caused me some grief recently.

Your other options are to end with '<htmlcode"">'."\r\n\r\n" or you could
define a function, constant or other variable that evaluates to \r\n\r\n
and concatenate that onto the end, which might make things more readable.

or you could actually do this:
$footer_paging = '<div class="tone2" style="padding: 5px; border-top:
1px solid #aaa; font-size: 80%;">\r\n' . $paging . '</div>

';
