Use of EOX in PHP function
<p>I came across a php function that returns an XSL sheet and was wondering what is "<strong>&lt;&lt;&lt; eox</strong>" I get that the function returns the sheet I just haven't seen that "tag" before. Thanks!</p>

<p>sample:</p>

<pre><code>function getStylesheetData() { 
return &lt;&lt;&lt; eox
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?&gt;
&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt;
&lt;xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes"/&gt;
&lt;xsl:template match="@* | node()"&gt;
   xsl functions...
&lt;/xsl:template&gt;
&lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;   
eox;
}
</code></pre>
