We definitely can't remove short tags as it is too common. However, I have always been against the short <?= notation because it just saves three characters and I think it's a hack just so that people don't have to write <? echo. I personally don't think <?php= should be added and I don't quite understand why people can't just write <?php echo. Does everyone really type so slowly? :) Andi -- 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]
