Can't get .php to output to the browser

Question

I am completely new to coding and my current assignment is just to use a "here document" block. All the code I have for the program is:

<?php
$firstphpstring = <<<ONTOTHENEXTONE 
I have now coded my first block to be displayed
in my very first web page.I am excited to see what the 
next several weeks have in stored.
ONTOTHENEXTONE;

echo $firstphpstring;
?>

But I keep getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in > C:\wamp\www\php_foothill\Week2Lab_CIS052N_heredoc_gettype.php on line 2

I am using Windows 7, WAMPServer 2.2, and have the .php file in a folder in C:\wamp\www

Answer 1

Remove the space after the <<<ONTOTHENEXTONE.
