Hello General and Dev list,
Considering the fact that it is good practice to use htmlspecialchars() anytime you are outputting non-html content to the browser...
After typing the 16 characters in the htmlspecialchars() function thousands of times...
I was wondering if it would be feasible to create an alias for this function, say hsc() or something short.
Even nicer, but probably not practical would be a language extension like:
<?== $var ?> being the same as <?= htmlspecialchars($var) ?>
It is no big deal, but for a function that is used ALL THE TIME, it would be nice.
Any Comments???
