Re: short_open_tag

I simply don't understand why we can't just live with what we have now. Why the constant motivation to change? WHY? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Kristian has been the first person to suggest that we change the default. Whether having '<?' unsupported as the default is questionable at best. Whether we should change the default today? Well, I would imagine that this is such a horrible thing that it would be an unthinkable thing to do, but then I woke up to this day :( Zeev At 19:45 12/12/2000, André Langhorst wrote:

We distribute two php.ini files, why not set short_open_tag to "off" in php.ini-optimized?

I use <?php in every simple script and in fact whenever I thought at I even converted php.net pages from <? to <?php modifying them well, how about a) removing php.ini (yes really, I know that will make life unnecessary harder, but we already found out - PHP is *too* easy to install, well let us solve it ;) ) b) having - php.ini-compatible

everyone should be smart enough to rename it to php.ini and most users will not upgrade their php.ini anyway, newbies will not experience any real difference, it just changes from "copy php.ini to eg. /usr/local/lib or $windows/", "read which php.ini to choose, rename & copy it to folder xxx" 2c andré -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
