Package: php5-common
Version: 5.6.30+dfsg-0+deb8u1
Severity: normal
This is not a repeat of bug #812323 which listed two issues:
- why are there two 'short_open_tag's in php.ini
- why is it default 'off'
only the second question was answered, the first still occurs. This is still a
bug.
This caused me and many others to spend hours wondering why our changes to
php.ini setting short_open_tag = On wasn't working. Much 3rd party software
written
in PHP depends on short_open_tags - not all software can be easily updated
to use long open tags.

No other debian package has multiple repeat directives in a central conf file
where the second overrides the first. This is confusing. While using a
conf.d/file to override the directive with local admin's choice may work, it's
still counterintuitive to have repeat entries.

php5 was last released with Debian 8 (jessie) in April 2015
and was removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by php7.0 and newer versions.
See https://bugs.debian.org/841781 for details on the removal.
Regular security support for jessie ended in June 2018 and LTS support
ended in June 2020.
I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
