Hi...
I seem to remember reading somewhere about the proper way of doing this sort
of thing in the middle of some html, for example:
<a href="<?= $some_url_or_ot her ?>">Click this!</a>
What is the most proper way of doing such? Would it be to do the full
monty?:
<a href="<?php echo $some_url_or_ot her ?>">Click this!</a>
I am writing my output to be xhtml strict compliant, so I guess for
continuity alone it should be the latter, but are there any specific reasons
for using the long-winded way? I'd like to know people's thoughts...
HYCSSLOTS...

.... and to explain why to the OP...
<? ?> can be used if shorttags is enabled in php.ini but this isn't
always the case for every server and I suspect becoming less and less
the case as more and more people use XML for various tasks. XML uses
<?xml as it's tag, and causes confusion with PHP, so it's always
advisable (IMO at least) to use the <?php rather than <? (extending to
the echo <?php echo rather than <?= too).
HTH =)

shorttags off has the advantage that you can use "<?xml" directly in
your files (i.e. without having to "print()" or "echo()" it), but if you
do that, you lose the ability to run your script on a server that has
shorttags on. If you're going to run only on servers who's php.ini you
control, that's no problem, but the default is still shorttags=on, so
that is what most hosters use.
So, if you're coding for the general public, shorttags=on is more
common, but you can't rely on it, so it is safer to use "<?php echo...".
But you can't rely on shorttags=off either, so for xhtml compliant files
you should use <?php echo "<?xml...." ;?>

XHTML doesn't really care which version you use... The absolute best way
anyway seems to be <?PHP echo $url;?> Notice the ;... Doesn't matter though,
just that it seems better as chances are you might feel like extending that
piece of code and forget to att the ; at that point...

I prefer short tag <?=$foo?> 'cos it's IMO quite fast. Also, I
hate echo and would prefer to write PHP code without the use of echo.
(Many thanks to Rasmus for fighting on behalf of short tags:))

Or use:
if(ini_get('sho rt_open_tag') == 'on') {
[code to be executed if shorttag is enabled]
}
else {
[code to be excecuted with shorttag disabled]
}

I'm trying to design an HTML page that can edit itself. In essence, it's
just like a Wiki page, but my own very simple version. It's a page full
of plain old HTML content, and then at the bottom, there's an "Edit"

Hi,
I'm trying to implement a singleton in PHP4 but it doesn't seem to
work. The object is recreated each time I call it.
The goal of the class is to keep a variable up to date.
It's used to display a database content, 25 rows at a time.
The singleton keeps track of the current starting row and
increases it or decreases it by 25 depending on the user action
(pressing a Next or Prev button).
Those buttons are submit buttons calling the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
