Hi again, Disclaimer: although discussions about this topic tend to be heated (and hated) this is not the usual short_open_tag thread. Please refrain from talking about other previous proposals and whether short_open_tag should be dropped or not.
As mentioned on my other post, at Debian we are planning to include 5.3 in Squeeze. Given that the development and production php.ini files both turn short_open_tag by default but many applications shipped by Debian itself still require it to be enabled, we have decided to _enable_ it again on the .ini files. However, we would like to contribute in the quest to make applications stop using short_open_tag. To do so, we have decided to throw an E_DEPRECATED warning when an application makes use of short_open_tag. The current implementation can be found at [1]. How does this sound?
