Hello,
I'm gauging interest on a proposed change to the short echo tag "<?=".
CURRENTLY:
The short echo tag "<?= $x ?>" is equivalent to "<?php echo $x ?>",
which allows for beautiful MVC views like this:
<html>
<head><title><?= $model->title ?></title></head>
<body><?= $model->body ?></body>
</html>
INSTEAD:
Change the short echo tag "<?= $x ?>" to be equivalent to "<?php
is_callable($x) ? $x() : echo $x; ?>", which allows view model
properties to be defined as closures. This syntactic sugar would
encourage higher-performance coding practices, since it allows for
content to be streamed rather than buffered into memory before being
output. (Note that there is no need to pass any parameters to the
closure, or even have that as an option.) Here is a sample:
$model = new StdClass();
$FileName = 'LargeFile.html';
$model->bodyStream = function () use $FileName { readfile($FileName); };
<html>
<head><title><?= $model->title ?></title></head>
<body><?= $model->bodyStream ?></body>
</html>
Thank you for considering!
Regards,
Shailesh
