Re: [RFC] [VOTE] Deprecate PHP's short open tags, again

> I did mention such example with the 'engine' setting ( > https://www.php.net/manual/en/apache.configuration.php#ini.engine as > it's PHP_INI_ALL ). Of course you could ask why would anyone do that (and afaik it's sapi > specific) but technically it can happen just in one "hard to notice" subdirectory/tree. This does not explain how someone could use that feature *by accident*. I gave an example where you can use short open tags by accident, and it is really easy (the most popular IDE sometimes generates code with short open tags) and hard to notice (it is not easy to spot a difference between <? and <?php). How can you compare this to situation when you create a separate file with an explicit directive to disable PHP engine, and then be surprised that code is not executed? Regards, Robert Korulczyk
