Note also that we have been *extremely* conservative with the short_open_tag setting because we know it can break old code. To this day even in PHP 5.4 it is still on by default as it was in PHP 5.3. Since PHP 5.1.0 which was released in 2005 we have suggested that people disable it in their php.ini because of the obvious problems it causes with respect to other things that use the XML PI tag, but we have in no way forced their hands. If you simply upgraded PHP and didn't change your php.ini, nothing related to short_open_tags would have broken in the past 15 years. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
