I forgot that <? is a valid > start code for PHP already so it is already valid PHP to write <?@. Another tack to take is to use PHP's streams support. We did this in ZF's Zend_View at one point to emulate short tags when they're disabled. Basically, it allows you to pre-process the template file as it's being included. The downside is, of course, performance. However, you could very easily add a caching layer to this as well to cache the modified code so that subsequent calls do not have to do the pre-processing. Basically, I think this is something that can be accomplished in userland. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matthew@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc
