Question

I have a project I am moving that has many files, many of which were opened with <? rather than <?php

I'm trying to globally replace <? with <?php in text wrangler, sublime text, and phpstorm, but none seem to want to grab just the <? (using the whole word check box).

I'll take any approach, but i do like the GUI for this one so I can inspect the search/replace results.

As an FYI, I am migrating a codebase. On the new server I am getting a raw dump of the php file for files opened with <? . stupid. Replacing with <?php fixes the issue. There are probably other ways to fix the issue.

Answer 1

The easiest way for me to solve this was simply to enable short tags, as described here...

How to enable PHP short tags?

Put the following line in your PHP.ini:

short_open_tag=On

Answer 2

This one is quite simple, as it is easy. I am assuming that your text editor supports Find/Find & Replace. If it doesn't go download and install Notepad ++ and hold CTRL + F and that'll bring up the find menu. After that, open all of the relevant PHP files. Navigate to the find & replace tab in the CTRL menu. From there enter <? and <?php into the two boxes, check all documents and hit replace all.

Answer 3

I have the same problem but I would like all scripts to have <?php instead of allowing <? modifying the php.ini

I use visual studio code but it works for any editor (sublime, etc.). First I make a change in the files and replace <? by <?php At that time I will have the ones that had <? correct and I will have the ones with <?php as <?phpphp

The next thing is to replace <?phpphp with <?php and that's it.
