This is illogical. It will break reams of code out there. People who have happily written code without any intention of distributing it will now deploy new servers and not have their code work. We will get slammed with questions.
Second, it is only a factor in very few cases. Very few people are going to parse their PHP code through an XML parser. The people who do so are very capable of turning off short_tags. Likewise for the people who write PHP code that they re-distribute. These are the people who know enough to use the longer tag style. Please revert. -Rasmus On Fri, 26 Apr 2002, Jani Taskinen wrote: > sniper Fri Apr 26 19:20:07 2002 EDT > > Modified files: > /php4 php.ini-dist php.ini-recommended > Log: > Default setting for short_open_tag is better be Off. > > Index: php4/php.ini-dist > diff -u php4/php.ini-dist:1.123 php4/php.ini-dist:1.124 > --- php4/php.ini-dist:1.123 Fri Apr 19 03:13:55 2002 > +++ php4/php.ini-dist Fri Apr 26 19:20:06 2002 > @@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ > engine = On > > ; Allow the <? tag.
