Or, even better, turn off short_open_tag
Then PHP will not try and parse <?xml
Well, that's circular logic, no?
Per: i obviously did misinterpret you. I thought you meant that
SOME_XHTML_PARSER would choke on PHP tags. If so, perhaps my response
will make sense to you now. But my point is still valid; one can just
print out the <?xml with PHP. Being *one* line--and always in the same
place--in every script, i don't see this as a very big deal at all.
I do agree that developing with short_open_tags = on is a Bad Idea if
the app will not be under one's control.
IMO, the fact that the PHP engine barfs on <?xml with short_open_tags on
is a bug that ought to have been fixed years ago. A space should be
mandatory after the ?. Better yet, PHP should do away with <? ?>
altogether but allow <?= ?>, which is *very* helpful (to those of us who
choose to use it).
