Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75980&edit=1 ID: 75980 Comment by: spam2 at rhsoft dot net Reported by: rolf at rolfjentsch dot de Summary: greater or equal (formerly >=) is missinterpreted Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: windows 10 xamp PHP Version: 7.2.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > The german documentation does not say that <? is deprecated this is NOT true, it clearly states that you should not rely on syntax which can be disabled with a single switch in the config and for me that was clear as i started with PHP 4.0.6 that it's dumb when i write code which may not run on a different setup at all http://php.net/manual/de/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php PHP erlaubt ebenfalls kurze öffnende Tags <? (von denen abgeraten wird, da sie nur verfügbar sind, wenn sie durch die short_open_tag php.ini Konfigurationsdirektive aktiviert wurden, oder PHP mit der --enable-short-tags Option konfiguriert wurde).

May be that page should be updated ... beside that my provider has it enabled and so i enabled the short tags on my development server as well. So i can only thank you for your advice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-19 13:22:36] cmb@php.net Besides what nikic said: if you're experiencing such strange behavior again, have a look at the generated HTML source code! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-19 13:22:31] spam2 at rhsoft dot net > well to make it a final the problem only arrises when i > start my php section with <?. > it does not occur when i start it with <?php well, to make it final: that's why you should not mix different issues in one bugreport and hence your broken snippet has alos no place in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73232 http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag <? is short-open-tags which defaults for years now to disabled that it worked in some configuration with 5.6 was because someone enabled it you can build PHP7 with --disable-short-tags and that's what you see because you ignored that many years that you shold write <?php and not <? but as said: this "issue" which is none has no place in that bugreport which is about something cmpletly differnt at all ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-19 13:18:34] nikic@php.net Please check your "short_open_tag" ini setting. You have it enabled on PHP 5 and disabled on PHP 7. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
