Hi internals,
As mentioned in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77378, we currently have
inconsistent defaults for the short_open_tag ini option. While this option
is disabled both in php.ini-production and php.ini-development, the default
(without ini) is enabled, unless --disable-short-open-tag is specified
during ./configure.
I believe that our general stance is to discourage the use of
short_open_tag, so I'm wondering whether we should switch the default to
short_open_tag=off and thus be consistent with our php.ini-production and
php.ini-development files. We could retain the --enable-short-open-tag
configure option for people who would like to change the default at the
build level.
What do you think?
