Is there an equivalent in PHP of the following code:
equivalent of asp's %= strTest %
Uhm - what does this strange line do??

PHP does have an equivelent, as shown by Shaun :
?=$var?
Things to keep in mind :
1. Is PHP4+ specific
2. Won't work if short_open_tag setting is off (in php.ini)
- One reason to turn this off, to enable XML support
3. Doesn't follow up-and-coming PEAR coding standards
And as
Yes yes I'm a zealot. :)
If the people defining the PEAR standards really were that interested in
standards,
why include alternate ways of doing something? ?=$blah;?
And if the 'short tag' method is useful enough for people, why 'exclude' it
from a standard? This notion of 'PEAR standards'
Have a look here :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pear.standards.php
Regarding ?= : the PEAR example was just part of it as it relates to
short_tags, not ?= specifically.

Because no matter what installation of PHP you have, this works:
?php echo $var; ?
But this:
?=$var?
Or this:
? echo $var; ?
Or this:
% echo $var; %
...is made invalid if short_tags are disabled
