Hi All,
[all references to .phps are inheriently references to the modified
highlight_file function, which in essence is the same thing]
To prevent this getting blown out of all proportion (as so many things to
where differences of opinion hit), can anyone with a view on this matter
answer the following questions for me:
1. Does adding the ?HIGHLIGHT_FORMAT switch to the .phps file format
reduce or degregate current / existing functionality in any way? {if yes,
please expand)
Bear in mind that no configuration changes are requried either in the
php.ini, httpd.conf or anywhere. It is just an extension of functionality
to the phps format.
2. Would the PHP community benifit from this extended functionality? (as
a whole - Im not looking for a "well I wouldnt use it so -1")
3. Are we looking to encourage or discourage active PHP development - or
are we trying to slash down up-and-coming developers because of biest
opinions and (perhaps) closed minded views?
Although the .phps file isnt perfect, it cant do everything - neither is
the rest of PHP, and nor should that stop development to try and improve
it.
4. Is there any *good* reason why this patch should not be included? That
is to ask, what negative effects does this script have.
Personally I would like to see PHP extended and new developers are being
welcomed in all the time. Constructive critisim is needed here guys, not
just "I dont think thats good".
