#21779 [NEW]: --disable-short-tags doesn't work

From: mattb@columbia.edu Operating system: Linux (RedHat 7.3 w/ Updates) PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: --disable-short-tags doesn't work The configure script still reports that one can use --disable-short-tags, but it doesn't work (I have not tried '--enable-short-tags=(off|no|0|false)'). Notice that php -i reports that I have configured and build PHP with the --disable-short-tags option: % php -i ...
