Re: Anyone have a tool/script to convert <? to <?php (but not <?=)

Use a lookahead:

    <\?(?!(=|php))

Try it...

<?echo 'i told you so';?>

The ONLY one that gives a parser error is the LAST one where yes, a space is required after a <?php

That is NOT the case for <? or <?=

What I posted (and all the others) would work, replacing all instances of
"<? " (notice the space) with "<?php " should work, it will leave all
existing <?= and <?php alone (since having a space after ? and before
=/php would produce a parser error.

Not sure why you are saying that spaces are irrelevant thou.

<?=$foo?> is perfectly valid so is <?=$foo;?> or any combination WITH
SPACES OR NOT.
If this were trivial, I wouldn't have asked the list. I've been coding PHP
since 1996. ;-)

So if you have <? you have to make sure it doesn't have a '=' after the
'?' to convert to '<?php'

Spaces are irrelevant and can NOT be relied upon as a unique feature.

Thanks guys for the replies so far, however, if it were a simple search
and
replace I wouldn't have to ask ;-)

The trick is that "<?=" is valid and legal and I want to keep those. I
only
want to change if they are specifically "<?"

Maybe there is some regex guru out there that knows the magic
incantation.

Related, for extra credit it drives me bonkers to see this:

   Hello <?= $username; ?>

Note the end semicolon on the variable. I'd want to strip all those off
too,
but that is also not a trivial task if you think about it as it can only
be
removed if proceeded with <?=
