Why would you code like that? Keep it in a single tag. <?php echo true ? 'True' : 'False'; ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-17 13:27:16] deepakbalanimail at gmail dot com Description: ------------ This is feature request:- PHP needs a more efficient shorthand syntax. PHP already has the shorthand syntax for <?php echo $expr ?> = <?= $expr ?>. But this thing will become nightmare when we want to use some flow control. <?php if(true): ?> <?= 'True' ?> <?php else: ?> <?= 'False' ?> <?php endif; ?> In this example we have to mix both type of syntax. So we need to make <?= ?> capable to process decision instructions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60319&edit=1
