heredoc issue

Yep, heredoc seems to be the unlikely culprit. I can't believe it though. Could there be another reason?
The first print statement works. The heredoc gives me this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' in ...line 96
print "<tr>\n".
"\t<td colspan=\"6\">Open Tickets :</td>\n".
"</tr>\n".
"<tr>".
"\t<td align=\"center\">No.</td>\n".
"\t<td align=\"center\">Subject</td>\n".
"\t<td align=\"center\">Date Submitted</td>\n".
"\t<td align=\"center\">Handler</td>\n".
"</tr>\n";
/*
print <<<THIS
<tr>
<td colspan="6">Open Tickets :</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">No.</td>
<td align="center">Subject</td>
<td align="center">Date Submitted</td>
<td align="center">Handler</td>
</tr>
THIS;
*/

I can't see your script, so I can't comment too precisely. But as a troubleshooting measure, I would comment out the heredocs and see what errors you get.

I have 4 instances of the heredoc syntax in the script.
For this particular instance, the first instance, is the one giving me the problem with the exact code i've posted.
The remaining 3 heredocs work and print the desired text.
There is a SQL statement before each one and those statements work as tested in the PHP script and in MySQLcc.
If I comment out the first heredoc, the script runs fine.
Refreshing doesn't get it to work like KarveR got it to work.

This is even crazier.
I just added another heredoc instance and it works.
If I uncomment the first one, it fails.
This works with the other 3 and they're similar.
$i=1;
while($row=mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
$stripslashes = stripslashes($row->subject);
print <<<OPENTICKETS
<tr>
<td align="right">$i </td>
<td>{$stripslashes}</td>
<td title="Date Submitted: {$row->submit_spelled}">$row->submitted</td>
<td align="center">$row->mod_username</td>
</tr>
OPENTICKETS;
$i++;
}
