Req #62705 [Opn->Wfx]: Add syntax for short output

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62705&edit=1 ID: 62705 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: bogdan at yurov dot me Summary: Add syntax for short output -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: any PHP Version: 5.4.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I don't think we need more variations on the open tag syntax -- if anything, we need less, not more. This would be impossible to Google for, and another variation that would trip up learning developers, who already tend to have a rough enough time with short open tags. Marking won't fix, subject to the caveat that this could still be pursued as an RFC (which would be more appropriate anyway, as a language level change).

It would be great if we could use ternar operator with short syntax. For example: <?? $var == 123 : 'ok' ?> ... instead of: <?= $var == 123 ? 'ok' : '' ?> In php 5.4 short syntax is enabled by default. what if you add this feature (of cause, not with exactly same syntax). Looking forward to you response. Test script: --------------- <?= $var == 123 ? 'ok' : '' ?> Expected result: ---------------- <?? $var == 123 : 'ok' ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62705&edit=1
