I asked you not to. too many bugs to handle? do you need prayer or something? try 2 hours rest on your bed and see if things get better real fast, thinking about nothing in particular. I forgive. the problem here is in the EBNF and the way it detects those short tags. I had thought short-tags was deprecated or dropped from what I remember. try parsing these in order: <?xml - ignore <?php - process as PHP <? - process as PHP if you do short tags first, <?php will never see light of day for proper detection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-07-06 20:08:37] cmb@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.

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
