I don't think it's beneficial to PHP to have two modes especially as the cli more you're talking about would support ?> followed by a <?php. So all you're saving is the opening tag. I think any PHP programmer can handle it. Let's keep things similar across the board. Andi

I agree here, too. But when you still want that stuff we can expand CLI by a new switch that executes the script in eval() mode. This way we do not have the problem with the closing "?>" tags mentioned by Andi (i just thought about starting a RFC on this).

Why don't we have the ?> problem? You can also use ?> in eval()'s. Anyway, Rasmus mentioned that a switch already exists although I don't think it's such a great idea due to the previously mentioned reasons. I think all PHP code should be consistent. Andi

Oh i see: I didn't knew you could do "?>" in eval() and hence in -r. So we could simply allow the combination of "-r" and "-f", shall we?

We've talked about this in the past, but let's bring it up again. It is a bit awkward to use CLI when it requires those <?php and ?> tags. We should probably have a command-line option that tells the parser to start in PHP mode instead of HTML/text. Any thoughts on this?
