Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78144&edit=1 ID: 78144 User updated by: johannes dot kingma at gmail dot com Reported by: johannes dot kingma at gmail dot com Summary: Is <?= shorthand tag removed in 7.0.0 or not? Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: PHP Language Specification PHP Version: 7.0.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: You're absolutely right and I am blind and offer my sincere apologies In my defence: the whole text is confusing for the reader. why write about ASP tags in a document about standard and short PHP tags? It is not mentionened in the document. This might make sense from a historic point of view but has no use in document on PHP tags. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 15:16:19] peehaa@php.net No it is not. You are confusing an ASP tag (<%=) with a PHp tag (<?=).

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.+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
