Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-10 04:48:32] nconantj at frontiernet dot net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-10 00:55:06] rasmus@php.net You should read the output of: php -h ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-10 00:46:16] nconantj at frontiernet dot net Description: ------------ I would deeply appreciate it if I could write a PHP shell script without the PHP required tags. 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
