You are incorrect in your assumption that it is stated otherwise (on any of your shared links). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 14:45:47] johannes dot kingma at gmail dot com ON https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php under Chantelog I read: 7.0.0 The ASP tags <%, %>, <%=, and the script tag <script language="php"> are removed from PHP. The ASP tags ARE, the short code <?= is NOT removed from PHP in version 7.+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 14:23:03] girgias@php.net The changelog entry is on the ASP tags [1] which have been removed. The short echo tag <?= is always available as of PHP 5.4 as can be seen on the note above [1] It seems you are not making a distinction between both INI directives [1] https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.asp-tags ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
