|
| php_flag short_open_tag on
|

| not benefit from .htaccess, furthermore, changing the CLI PHP scripts
| from short to long tags is very much not an option due to both the
| volume of scripts and code complexity as patterns of '<' . '?..' or
| "<" . "?.." or '<' . "?.." will exist within scripts alongside the
| dynamic generation of other PHP scripts by other CLI PHP scripts.
volume is not important, nor is the pattern complex. you will either look
for:
<?
or
<?=
i'd suggest making a script that recurses your directory structure that does
a regex replace on all the files where that pattern matches. i'd have made a
backup of all the files first, then after having done the replacements,
attempt to install it on a test computer and bang on its functionality until
you are satisfied everything is working properly.
this is where foresight would have come in handy...although i usually don't
fuss to much about short-tagging as, like i have suggested, the fix is
painfully easy.
hth,
