I only see: > The ASP tags <%, %>, <%=, and the script tag <script language="php"> > are removed from PHP. @ https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 13:10:01] johannes dot kingma at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/language.basic-syntax.phptags --- In https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag one can read that from 5.4 <?= will always be available and that asp_tags will be removed. Basic syntax in Changelog claims that <?= were removed from 7.0.0 What is true? Test script: --------------- Text should read: 7.0.0 The ASP tags <%, %> and the script tag <script language="php"> are removed from PHP. The shorthand tag <?= will be available. Expected result: ---------------- In the php_ini-production: ; This directive determines whether or not PHP will recognize code between ; <? and ?> tags as PHP source which should be processed as such. It is ; generally recommended that <?php and ?> should be used and that this feature ; should be disabled, as enabling it may result in issues when generating XML ; documents, however this remains supported for backward compatibility reasons. ; Note that this directive does not control the <?= shorthand tag, which can be ; used regardless of this directive. ; Default Value: On ; Development Value: Off ; Production Value: Off ; http://php.net/short-open-tag short_open_tag = Off ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78144&edit=1
