No more PHP short open tags

A few folks had trouble using Lyceum because their host does not allow short php open tags (php directive short_open_tag set to 0). This is something I’d been meaning to do for a while but it got lost in the shuffle. Now it’s done.

For those of you who don’t know, here is a short php open tag:

<?

And here is a full php open tag:

<?php

Short tags are bad because they can conflict with xml’s open tag:

<?xml

The nightly on the downloads page has the new code. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks, only a day and a half to get up. Thank you very much.

Or you can just do xml or a slight workaround and several months of nerdrage are averted.

I personally think using is far uglier than .

Well that stripped my tags so what I meant was <?<??>xml



WAIT! If you need Lyceum support, use the email list or IRC channel. If you have found a bug, file a ticket or send email to lyceum-bugs AT lists DOT ibiblio DOT org.
