dezkit Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I recently noticed that [ php ] [ /php ] is now the same as [ code ] [ /code ]. What happened to [ php ] [ /php ]? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 <?php back_in_the_day_you_had_to_use_starting_quotes(); ?> Wonder if that's still true. Edit: Looks like it's not. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezkit Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 I would love for it to come back, it's so much better than [ code ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 was given the same style as [code] a [i]long[/i] time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Mainly because people were incapable of using the correct one at the correct time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Mainly because people were incapable of using the correct one at the correct time. pfft. I'd settle for even that. My main beef (as far as this is concerned) is people being incapable of using tags at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I hated the old tags. They didn't use a monospaced font and there was no scrolling for huge amounts of code. It'll not be reverted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Personally, I liked the old PHP tags. Especially for small code fragments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Well, maybe, but people also used them for huge code fragments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 echo 'Hello World"; This is weird. The code in php tags here is: echo 'Hello World"; Note that the first ' is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Well, maybe, but people also used them for huge code fragments. Seems a bit unfair to the people that aren't stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezkit Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Bump, how about a petition to bring them back, eh? P.S. Sorry if bumps are against the rules. Edit: I think that [ php ] is better than the [ code ] because the php one is good for small code fragments and it looks much much prettier than [ code ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Read the above posts: 1) No monospaced font face 2) People do use them for large amounts of code which result in a very long page Both of those two points make it more difficult to read the code.

dezkit Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 2) How about a restriction to the amount of lines? For example: 10-15 lines. 1) What is a monospaced font face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 2) How about a restriction to the amount of lines? For example: 10-15 lines. Not possible. 1) What is a monospaced font face? Mono- = alone/single/one. Space = space. I.e. a font where all glyphs have a single amount of space. Could for instance be Courier. That's opposed to for instance Helvetica where e.g. m is wider than n. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
