It's odd and inconsistent to have <%=, <?=, but not <?php=.

I was also against <?= originally, but now that we do have it I agree that consistency (symmetry?) is better.

Let's take this one step further (into absurdity ;-) and also add <script language="php">= %var; </script> just for consistency, of course :)

Blah. This will *never* be supported and I don't think it makes sense to include this in the discussion about <?=, ,<%= and <?php=

Now all that is left is to decide :) I think we're at a deadlock. Who opposes this strongly? Not me, I use <?php all the time...

It seems that most people support <?php=. If no one comes up with a convincing argument against I will add <?php= later on today. BTW, I never liked the <?= syntax and opposed it at the time but I think today because many people seem to like it, it makes sense to have <?php= for consistency sake. Andi
