From: vask at dmglobal dot net Operating system: All PHP version: 5.3.0alpha2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Incorrect Code Styling When Mixing Languages (PHP Side And Text Editor Side)
Description: ------------ The ONLY way you can ensure that the correct code styling is done is if there is some kind of "separator" between different languages mixed in the same file. The current implementation of PHP doesn't ALWAYS allow for a "separator" when mixing different languages such as HTML, JS, PHP, etc... With most things we are ok.. there are already separators that can be recognized by a text editor... ie) <? <script> However, there are cases where a text editor will be unable to realize the language change is present because a "separator" will NOT be present... like if something is in quotations... Below is the easiest example I can think of. ie)file.html.php <? $variable = '<p>Don\'t ' . $_GET['verb'] . '</p>'; ?> - incorrect html code styling (should NOT be a solid color). - requires \' or fiddling with the quotations. ie)file.abc (THEORETICAL) <? $variable = ?><?html <p>Don't ?><? . $_GET['verb'] . ?><?html </p> ?><? ; ?> - correct html code styling. - No need to escape or fiddle with the apostrophe in "Don't." NOTE: Two separate syntaxes (<? or <?= ) would ONLY be needed for the SERVER side language (PHP). My suggestion may be ignored by the PHP community but I think people would love to see something fill in gap when it comes to code styling AND mixing different languages together... Please also note that this proposal is intended for mixing an UNLIMITED number of client side languages in the same file by a valid PHP separator (NOT just HTML and PHP). My original issue is posted here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Scripting/JavaScript/Q_23658501.html#a22442342 Reproduce code: --------------- <? // See bug description (this is essentially a repeat of what was mentioned in there...) // file.html.php // incorrect html code styling (should NOT be a solid color). // requires \' or fiddling with the quotations. $variable = '<p>Don\'t ' . $_GET['verb'] . '</p>'; //---------------------- // file.abc // THEORETICAL EXAMPLE // Correct html code styling. // No need to escape or fiddle with the apostrophe in "Don't." $variable = ?><?html <p>Don't ?><? . $_GET['verb'] . ?><?html </p> ?><? ; ?> Expected result: ---------------- // Text editor displays correct code styling when mixing different languages together. // This feature request is about creating a "separator" in PHP so that the correct code styling will ALWAYS be possible in a text editor when mixing different client side languages in the same file. // ie) // <?html // <?js // <?php // <?client_side_language_154 Actual result: -------------- // Text editor displays incorrect code styling when mixing different languages together because a recognizable "separator" between languages is NOT present. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46046&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46046&r=mysqlcfg
