For several ; years we recommended that you not use the short tag shortcut and ; instead to use the full <?php and ?> tag combination. With the widespread use ; of XML and use of these tags by other languages, the server can become easily ; confused and end up parsing the wrong code in the wrong context. ; This shortcut is still supported for backwards compatibility, but we ; recommend against its use. a couple of suggested changes : * "you not use" -> "you do not use" * "instead to use" -> "instead use" it could probably be rewritten completely, but at least these two changes should be considered ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65644&edit=1
