Bug #72556 [NEW]: php using .xml file as source tries to execute header

From: jim dot michaels at Jesusnjim dot com Operating system: PHP version: 7.0Git-2016-07-06 (snap) Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:php using .xml file as source tries to execute header Description: ------------ 1. 7.1Git-2016-07-06 isn't even on your site - no dir for it. 2. php using .xml file as source tries to execute XML header because of <? and ?> but xml header says <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> don't blast me because they are not separate bugs please. you know what happens if too many are put in on the same day. Test script: --------------- <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> Expected result: ---------------- <?xml should be differentiated from <?php. in fact, it might be a lex priority issue where <? is lexed before <?php but XML and XHTML are not detected properly due to same problem. what is the header for XHTML 1.1/1.0? what about XHTML5? XHTML5.1? 5.2? see whatwg.org php should completely ignore the xml file since there is no PHP in it. or so I had thought. and it's not just a simple .xml file extension detection, it's an ENBF change, yes?
