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? Actual result: -------------- Wed 07/06/2016 11:49:00.42|C:\w\Jesusnjim|>php menu7a.xml Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'version' (T_STRING) in C:\w\Jesusnjim\menu7a.xml on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72556&edit=1
