Hey Everyone,

I've heard that '<?' opening tags rather than <?php are now, or soon
will be deprecated. Can anyone confirm this?

thanks!

Well. Current releases have still set short_open_tag in php.ini to 1. I
dont know if this may change in later releases, but this form can cause
conflicts with XML-Elements and as i already said: it can be disabled in
the php.ini.

They're not deprecated at the moment and I couldn't find anything saying they
would be from a quick search; the few relevant hits that came up from PHP
development mailing lists implied it's not going to be.

However, using short_open_tags is not recommended and hasn't been for some
time - but that's not the same as being deprecated.

I heard they recently added wisdom to php so that even if short open tags
are enabled, they will not be confused with <?xml ?>, but that's only since
php 5.?.? version.

They WANT to deprecate them, but they won't.
