Hi NG!

Just wanted to see what you think of the strictness of Buxa, according to
their PHP guidelines:
http://www.buxaprojects.com/en/php_c...guidelines.htm

In their oppinion stuff like the short PHP init "<?" or inline echo "<?=
$var ?>" is forbidden.
Do you people code that strict?

Kind regards,

me too, that sort of code is an abomination.
Short tags are not portable and should never have been introduced and
should not remain in php6

I don't put PHP in my HTML. I use PHP to build my HTML, using heredoc
syntax while doing so. My scripts usually only have a single <?php
opening tag and never require any closing ?> tags.

Code that contains short open tags or instances of <?= is amatuer in my
opinion.

agreed. i use echo so i can indent my code. inline php/html mix bugs me.

although handing off to a templating engine/presentation layer would
be even better of course.

Yep. If you're using XHTML you have no other option.

I use the PHP/HTML mix - seems to make it easier for me to use apache
language-negotiation. My PHP code is language-neutral, my HTML files
aren't.

eval() is my favorite templating engine.
