* I’m trying to get a specific page content from a page and i need to insert this
php code:
* ``
* i tried this:
* ```
$output .= <<
echo getPageContent(8);
HTML;
```
* but it doesn’t work.. i even tried:
* ```
getPageContent(8);
echo getPageContent(8)
```
* still it didn’t
* note: i already have code for the getPageContent i’m just not sure why when viewing
on my browser, this code: echo getPageContent(8) shows up instead of executing
it.

* if `getPageContent(8)` returns a string of some sort, try string concatenation;
* example:
* ```
...
HTML;
$output .= getPageContent(8);
$output .= <<
...

* can you post some code to put the snippet into context?
* possibly the code of the whole template?
* (please use the pastebin.com … )
* I assume that `` does output the right content?
