EOSTYLE; should be at the beginning of the line, just like the other ones.

The file is correct, as far as I can see. Hope somebody else spots your problem.

You have an extra tab character after EOSTYLE; (line 29 in your code above)

Delete that line and retype it, taking care not to add any extra characters after the semi-colon.

edwinhermann is right.

The end delimiter for a heredoc string must be the first thing in the line, and there can not be anything after the semi-colon, not even a white-space (tabs, spaces, etc..).

The latter is also true for the start delimiter. It must be the last thing on the line.

I have done the changes and get the same error.

You still have a tab trailing the semi-colon on line #29.
It needs to be removed.

second code runs on my ide,

<?php
class CreateAccountPage {
public function __construct() {}
public function title() { return 'Create Account'; }
public function inlineStyle() { return <<<EOSTYLE
label { margin-top:0.5em; display:block; font-family:Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 10pt; color: #444; }
EOSTYLE;
}
public function processRequest() { /* first process any incoming POST data */ if(isset($_POST) and count($_POST) != 0) { $this->processIncomingFormData(); } /*now emit page content*/
$titleText = $this->title();
$inlineStyle = $this->inlineStyle();
$this->emitHeaders($titleText, $inlineStyle);
echo "<body>\n";
$this->generateBodyContents();
echo "</body>\n";
echo "</html>\n"; }
protected function generateBodyContents() { echo <<<EOCONTENTS
<h3>Create a New User Account</h3><form method="post" action="SubmitAccountData.php" name="create_user_form"><div><label>User Name:</label><input type='text' name='user_name' size='30'></div><div><label>Full Name:</label><input type='text' name='full_name' size='30'></div><div><label>Password:</label><input type='password' name='password1' size='20'></div><div><label>Password (confirm);</label><input type='password' name='password2' size='20'></div><div><label>Email Address:</label><input type='text' name='email_address' size='30'></div><p><input type='submit' value='Create User'></p></form>
EOCONTENTS;
}
protected function emitHeaders($titleText, $inlineStyle) { echo <<<EOHEADERS
<html><head><title>{$titleText}</title><style type='text/css' media='all'>body { font-family: Arial, Hervetica;	}{$inlineStyle}</style></head>
EOHEADERS;
}
protected function processIncomingFormData() { /* enter user page doesn't care about form data*/	} }
$page = new CreateAccountPage();
$page->processRequest(); ?>

packs down well
<label> tags have only real value for buttons, radio buttons, to make titles clickable, in this context they are unneccessary

Thank you for all you help.

I removed all the character after the heredoc and it worked. Thanks for all you help.

Cheers
