Bug description: '<?=', and '<%=' are equivalent to echo, but '<?php=' is not
Seeing as how '<?=' and '<%=' are both equivalent to '<?php echo', I kind
of figure that '<?php=' should also be equivalent, but it is not.
Having run into this before, I asked about it and somebody told me it was
in the works to get taken care of for 4.2.0. I checked and it doesn't
seem to be fixed, so I decided to do a bit of hunting to see if it was
within my capabilites. I *think* I've found the changes which need to be
made, but I'm not absolutely certain.
Having searched through all of the source code for all occurrances of
'<%=' and '<?=', I discovered that they only exist (outside of comments)
in one source file.
That said, I *believe* that the following changes to
php-4.2.0\Zend\zend_language_scanner.l would cause '<?php=' to become
equivalent to '<?php echo' just as the other, shorter tags allow.
I don't know how to make an actual patch file, or where to submit it so
here goes. First is the two-line change to zend_language_scanner.l that
would seem to enable the shorthand. Second is the one-line change to
zend_language_scanner.c (just in case the two have to be maintained
seperately).
This should be easily back-portable to previous code trees.
