#25987 [Bgs]: php and xml tag confusion
ID: 25987 User updated by: tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com Reported By: tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: * PHP Version: * New Comment: what just happened? it appears some comments were lost(about 2-4). __ Anyway, it DOES know the diffrence of '?=' from '?'. so why can't it detect the diffrence of '?' from '?xml'? And, according to my brain, and museum.php.net, the deafult opining tag was changed from '?' to ?php' partially for this reason(and the closing tag from '' to '?'), from v.2 to v.4 .
