Re: Re: How to echo the end marker '?>'

Ernest, your solution is quite correct, I write lots of scripts that "write scripts" and it works fine. just concatenate little strings together "<"."?"."php" and "?".">" pretty much as you suggested to Philipp. If you have a really sick and twisted mind you can create functions that do this in combination with $$ variable variables for some very interesting effects but after a while your friends will start crossing over to the other side of the road when they see you coming. If these functions write the scripts to disk for later execution you are entering the realms of self modifying code, or software that "learns". PHP has to be THE perfect language to experiment in this area with, surely. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest E Vogelsinger" <ernest@vogelsinger.at> To: "Philipp Bolliger" <phibo@freesurf.ch> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net>; <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 11:25 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: [PHP] How to echo the end marker '?>' > At 12:15 08.11.2002, Philipp Bolliger spoke out and said: > --------------------[snip]-------------------- > >subject's allready my question !
