Using heredocs in a PHP array

gistfile1.php

// This actually works
$my_array = array(
    'foo' => <<< FOO
It's time for
    some foo, baby!
FOO
,
    'bar' => <<< BAR
    Now let's bar it up.
BAR
,
    'hello' => 'world'
);

print_r($my_array);
// Array
// (
//     [foo] => It's time for
//     some foo, baby!
//     [bar] =>     Now let's bar it up.
//     [hello] => world
// )

Weird white-space preservation even without the explicit HEREDOC endings. That's a spicy meatball.
