Doc #78144 [Nab]: Is <?= shorthand tag removed in 7.0.0 or not?

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78144&edit=1 ID: 78144 Updated by: girgias@php.net 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: Because the documentation covers every version of PHP from PHP 5.0.0. And in PHP 5, ASP tags where valid PHP tags. Moreover, I don't see how the text is confusing what so ever, but maybe that's just me. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 15:24:49] johannes dot kingma at gmail dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 15:16:19] peehaa@php.net No it is not. You are confusing an ASP tag (<%=) with a PHp tag (<?=). They are different things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 15:08:59] johannes dot kingma at gmail dot com Btw this Changelog is wrong in all languages except Chinese. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 15:05:27] johannes dot kingma at gmail dot com https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php https://imgur.com/a/C7dkpm9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 14:51:18] peehaa@php.net > <?= is NOT removed from PHP in version 7.+ You are correct that they are not removed. You are incorrect in your assumption that it is stated otherwise (on any of your shared links). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
