#30044 [Bgs->Opn]: Don't require php tags for shell scripts.

ID: 30044 User updated by: nconantj at frontiernet dot net Reported By: nconantj at frontiernet dot net -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: The only option there that is approaching relevent is -r, but that requires some form of quoting to prevent the shell from parsing it, and it requires that every line have a backslash (\) just prior to the new line.

As far as implementing this, make it a command line option for the CLI (--notags). PHP is a powerful language that could be more easily used for system shell scripts with this ability. I would be able to write a script as follows: #!/usr/bin/php --notags <<code>> rather than as: #!/usr/bin/php <?php <<code>> ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30044&edit=1
