I'm not sure if we're looking at the same libraries and versions here but both of these use normal opening tags in the code for quite a while: https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty Keywords open source, PHP, and short opening tags don't go together anymore neither people coding in PHP are using these anymore for a very long time. If they postpone upgrades and neglect good coding practices, nothing can help them improve or fix their apps. -- Peter Kokot -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
