nowdoc in php

nowdoc is a syntax in PHP used to specify a string literal that is similar to single-quoted strings but doesn’t process escape sequences and variables. It is enclosed in single quotes and preceded by the keyword ‘<<<‘ followed by an identifier, which acts as a delimiter. Nowdoc is useful when you want to embed code snippets or write large strings without worrying about escaping special characters or variables.

To define a nowdoc string, the identifier must start at the beginning of a line, followed by a semicolon. The nowdoc block ends with the same identifier followed by a semicolon on a separate line. Nowdoc syntax is particularly helpful when working with complex strings that require a lot of quotation marks, apostrophes, or escape sequences.
