When configuring PHP4 (confirmed with latest snap from this morning) using the option --disable-short-tags, PHP still enables short tags by default.  Using --enable-short-tags=no works just fine (though this is not available in the --help for configure)

Looking at the configure script, --disable-short-tags is never even checked.

Update:
   --enable-short-tags=no doesn't seem to have any effect either.  It sets the define:
   DEFAULT_SHORT_OPEN_TAG 0
in php_config.h, but there doesn't seem to be any code I can find that actually interprets the define.

You are right. This configure option is not used anywhere.
It should set the builting default to disabled..

You propably know that you can set this in php.ini too
so this is not critical, just annoying.

Couldn't this be (quickly) fixed with the following?

This is fixed in CVS (by Jani).
