Re: RFC: Removing PHP tags
Removing PHP's native feature of being able to be easily embedded inside
HTML and other markup languages is absolutely retrograde. Of of the biggest
points in favor of PHP is that i'm able to easily do this:
<ul>
<?php foreach ($stuff as $item): ?>
<li><?php echo $item ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Or this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<store>
<?php foreach ($stuff as $item): ?>
<product><?php echo $item ?></product>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</store>
Without having to implement any slow-as-hell template language. It works
right out of the box. Using MVC as an argument for tag removal is a clear
disrespect to the language itself.
