Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-07-29 00:27:18] cmb@php.net To me it doesn't make sense to introduce a special syntax for scripts starting with a shebang line. Either there'll be the possibility to have PHP code only files, or not. Actually, I'm fine with the latter, as that also can make sense for CLI scripts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-07-24 07:47:18] tuxy at vmail dot me Description: ------------ Feature request to remove the need to use "<?php" when using shebang "#!/usr/bin/php" Note this is only for terminal php scripts anyway, there is no need to use "<?php" with that.
