I do not agree.
Older versions of the php engine (or older system configurations)
could be able to understand "long open tags" only. And no (not insane)
developer on planet earth wants his code to be not executed properly
or ignored as buggy...
As far as I know, there are no security reasons for keeping short tags
off, but, considering what I told you in previous lines, you should
avoid using this technique.

Hi !
I'm trying to develop something in PHP.
I have a list of file, and I want to know if I can have a unique
identifier for each files. What I mean, is:
I have my files:
test.txt
test2.txt
I would like them to return a unique something... anything...
If I have my first test.txt, and delete it, and put another one, EXACTLY
the same file, but after deleting the first, I would like it to return a
"new id"
This "id" would be used to pair database entries for each files, but
without using an old entry for a new file.
I know it feels abstract, but if you want informations about what I
want, ask me !

No, actually, I do not want to create a new file, I want to associate a
certain file to a certain row in a DB. I want to do some windows desktop
like web application for active desktop, and want to know if there could
be some sort of way to have a unique identifier to each file.
I would want this because, take this example in account :
I have dowloaded a file, movie1.avi . I delete it. 2 hours later (the
wipe in the DB for old file entries is not done) I download another file
with the same name. It would be place at the place of the old one !
Maybe by checking the creation date, and the filename, that would be
possibkle... only quirks : if you rename the file not from the web
interface... it would place itself like a new icon.
