Re: <?xml tags (was PDM Meeting Notes)

What concerns me most is that <?php= does not work, regardless if short tags will be disabled or not in php6. I currently use <%= to counter this, but I am most certainly *not* happy with it. So a clean <?php= solution would be ideal, so I wouldn't have to care about xml/xsl files parsed and neither about my templates growing too large because of php overhead. Sara Golemon wrote:

I recall this being discussed before, but not what came of it: is there a problem with just ignoring <?foo where foo is anything other than php or =? <?foo or <?bar or <?whatever is a parse error anyway so I very much doubt there's any BC break. Unless someone's program relies on parse errors.

The problem there becomes legacy support for: <?foo();?> And before you say "just watch for parens" there's also: <?foo::bar();?> and a much more insiduous example: <?die ?> no semicolon, no parens, no paamayim nekudotayim, nothing but a perfectly valid looking PI tag. -Sara
