The first line of heredoc string must have NO indentation... like this:

    function __construct()
      { 
       $a = some_code();
       $b = some_more_code();
       $x = <<<EOT

line1
line2
line3
line4

EOT;    

        $c = even_more_code();
        $b = still_more_code();
        ...
        ...
        ...

What do you mean? The line with << – Bizley Jul 26 '16 at 05:24
The line after, and I am not sure if you need to assign << – Jethro Hazelhurst Jul 26 '16 at 05:26

This is not true. You can have the line after << – Bizley Jul 26 '16 at 05:27

It looks you have tabs in your code. Check this code below, its working fine for me,

$x = <<<EOT
   line1
   line1
   line1
EOT;
echo $x;

Do not include any spaces or tabs at the end of string i.e. EOT(2nd last line).
