[PHP-DEV] RFC: Removing PHP tags

Hi,

I wrote a RFC that proposes removal of PHP tags. There is actually
strong public demand for it, and I also think it is necessary to
leverage PHP to a genuine, modern scripting language.

http://wiki.php.net/rfc/nophptags

Regards,
Moriyoshi

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.

I really doubt this will find much support, and note that PHP came well before ASP so that part of the RFC is factually inaccurate.

What many people fail to see is that PHP is it's own templating language.
It might be ugly for people used to other template languages, but it works
perfectly and right out of the box.

No problem. Keeping the April 1st RFCs factually accurate is a top priority around here.

Damnit! I just got April Fools punked for the first time since I was a
kid! Now how am I supposed to look down my nose at everyone else?! Thanks
a lot, Moriyoshi.

Though does it count if it's still March 31st over here? ;)
