[PHP]<?php
// load SimpleXML
$SECURITIES = new SimpleXMLElemen t('http://www.zet.com/xml/TableDt.xml', null, true);

echo <<<EOF
<marquee bgcolor="#33333 3" scrollamount="3 " onmouseover=sto p() onmouseout=star t() ><font face='Time News Romance' font color='white' font size=4><table>


EOF;

foreach($SECURI TIES as $STOCK) // loop
{
$change=$STOCK->Change;

echo "SYMBOL:{$S TOCK->Symbol_code}&n bsp;&nbsp;&nbsp ;&nbsp;&nbsp; ";
echo "PRICE:{$ST OCK->Price}&nbsp;&n bsp;&nbsp;&nbsp ;&nbsp;";

if($change==0)
{
echo "<img src='vang.gif'> $change</img>&nbsp;&nbsp ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&n bsp;&nbsp;";
}

I think it's got something to do with the heredoc type variable. I'm not familiar there but if the XML gets to see <<<EOF this will cause the opening/ending tag mismatch.
