Re: [PHP] Re: equivalent of asp's %= strTest %
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 you've seen, many don't even know what ?= is. You'll find zealots on both sides of this use, the choice is yours. ;-) Regards, Philip On Sun, 8 Apr 2001, shaun wrote: I haven't done asp in a while so if this just shows the var's value then you just replace % with ? ?= $hi ?

Re: [PHP] Re: equivalent of asp's %= strTest %
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' does irk me some, because it's been so long in coming, and people are deferring to it before it's a reality. At least, that's the impression that I get.

Re: [PHP] Re: equivalent of asp's %= strTest %
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. http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.short-open-tag Regards, Philip On Sat, 7 Apr 2001, Michael Kimsal wrote: 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;?

Re: [PHP] Re: equivalent of asp's %= strTest %
And if the 'short tag' method is useful enough for people, why 'exclude' it from a standard? 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 (and the last only works with ASP tag support, and I'd say 90% of PHP users don't have it enabled). And if the tags are turned off, guess what happens to all the code between those tags? woops ;) And as mentioned, short_tags must be disabled on .xml pages. Or they at least "should" be. While there are work-arounds, if you didn't use short-tags you wouldn't ever have a problem with any standard unless ?php becomes part of their markup, lol. And if it does, they will have to be "dealt with" :) -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
