Often, I'm left writing things like:

<input type="text" name="yada" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($var) ?>">

It'd be nice if PHP let you write this instead:

<input tupe="text" name="yada" value="<?php $var ?>">

with the echo and htmlspecialchars implied. Or at least the echo implied.

Easily done, write your own function 'h($a) { return htmlspecialchars($a);}', your call could then look like '<?=h($var)?>'
