Short open tag enabled or not in PHP 8 and IPS 4.7?


Recommended Posts

I just changed PHP version for my self hosted IPS community, from 7.4 to 8.0 (for IPS 4.7), and i noticed that short_open_tag (in CPanel -> PHP Selector) is disabled by default, but i can enable it. Is it recommended to turn it on or should i leave it disabled? I have read that it is deprecated but i would like to know other opinions.

IPS is not using it.  So it really does not make a difference one way or another in terms of IPB functionality.  In general, if something is deprecated, it's going to be removed at some point.  If that is the case and you're not using it today... why run the chance of STARTING to use something you know is on the way out the door in terms of being supported.  

The saying goes...  "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".  🙂 

You're not going to gain anything by turning it on, so I would personally leave it alone.
