So long as it's not likely to cause problems, I think <?= $var =?> is a bit easier to read than - <?= $var . PHP_EOL ?> - <?= $var . "\n" ?> - <?php echo $var . "\n" ?> It's of things that probably won't have strong supporters, but might be nice to have (I find some junior developers question why their HTML output can be a bit messy, not that it's really a problem, but it's there).
