Would it be possible to force short_open_tag to a specific value for those applications alone? Perhaps through an .htaccess file? That way, Debian keeps the "PHP default" but still allows those apps to work. > However, we would like to contribute in the quest to make applications > stop using short_open_tag.

Like Rasmus said, we've no intention of deprecating it. It's just that apps requiring short open tags are not really portable (because they don't work when short_open_tag is set to 0). with kind regards, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org twitter: @derickr -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
