i think when you use Heredoc and display it in the browser it's treated as single line comment by php if you want to output same as on the example you can use <br> for each paragraph you want to break 

$myString = <<<"EOT"
Example of string <br>
spanning multiple lines<br>
using spaces<br>
and including a $name variable\n
using heredoc syntax.
EOT;

echo $myString;
