Bug description: HTML macros
Description:
------------
I propose the ability to create "macros" that can be used in the HTML
(outside of the PHP start and end tags, <?php and ?>).
This will facilitate using PHP in systems oriented to web site builders
who lack knowledge of PHP, but need to use certain interactive features.
The below example creates a macro USERNAME which can be inserted into HTML
to reflect the current site user's name.
However, macros could perhaps also be used to create forms, e.g. by
defining a macro "FORM".
Also, if macros could be defined so as to take arguments, they would be
even more powerful.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
global $USERNAME;
$USERNAME = "John";
macro USERNAME {
global $USERNAME;
echo $USERNAME;
}
?>
Hello!<br>
Your name is USERNAME.<br>
Bye!
Expected result:
----------------
Hello!
Your name is John.
Bye!
