From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.8 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:PHP shorthand syntax
Description: ------------ This is feature request:- PHP needs a more efficient shorthand syntax. PHP already has the shorthand syntax for <?php echo $expr ?> = <?= $expr ?>. But this thing will become nightmare when we want to use some flow control. <?php if(true): ?> <?= 'True' ?> <?php else: ?> <?= 'False' ?> <?php endif; ?> In this example we have to mix both type of syntax. So we need to make <?= ?> capable to process decision instructions. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60319&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60319&r=mysqlcfg
