Will newbies really use XHTML? Anyway, people have been embedding PHP in WML and other XML formats without visible problems for a while now. IF we are to add another Apache type mapping for this, it should be "application/x-httpd-php-xml". IMHO it adds complexity to PHP without really solving any problems that could not be "configured around". > How about an instruction like good old "<?php_track_vars?>", which, > when placed at the top of the script, would deactivate short-tags?

This approach has been abandoned AFAIR. - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
