Flexible Heredoc and Nowdoc Syntax Support

PHP 7.3 RC3 has been released on schedule. It means that it’ll be possible to use the improved Heredoc and Nowdoc strings syntax very soon! You’ll be able to indent the closing marker as you wish, and this indentation will dictate the amount of whitespace to strip from each line within the heredoc/nowdoc. PhpStorm 2018.2 now supports this upcoming neat syntax:

heredoc-newdoc
