Re: PHP class files without <?php at the top

Hello, Tom... Are you seriously that bothered with '<?php' at the top of your classes? Are you serious when talking changing reguire/include behaviour just to satisfy your wish? To be also serious, I would mention the possibility of including URLs. There is no such thing as file name extension in URLs. Thus your idea should be forgot.
