You are looking for output buffering, like described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4401949/whats-the-use-ob-start-in-php — Adder, Nov 29 '12 at 11:53

Is it necessary for you to use heredoc syntax? Can you not have the HTML inside a PHP variable? Or do you have a large amount of HTML? — crmpicco, Nov 29 '12 at 11:56

Why not just do that between the PHP tags?

<?php
  $html = '<span></span>';
  echo $html;
?>

From what I understand you might want to have a look at heredoc syntax. However, your question is not exactly clear.

<?php
$html = <<<EOT
<span></span>
<!-- You can place anything in here "without escaping" -->
EOT;
echo $html;
?>

You need output buffering for this.

<?php
ob_start();
?>
<!-- your html code here -->
<span></span>
<?php
$html = ob_get_clean();
?>
