Description:
------------
when making a php document with the <script></script> construct, you recommend typing: <script language="php"></script> but this is widely deprecated in html and xhtml. I think it's better to use <script type="text/php"></script> since this is more relevant because it's used everywhere

PS. I've also tried: application/x-httpd-php as mime/type

Reproduce code:
---------------
<html>
 <head>
  <title></title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <script type="text/php">
   echo "hello";
  </script>
 </body>
</html>

Expected result:
----------------
hello

Actual result:
--------------
javascript error

Actually, you get hit by this problem only if your script embedded in HTML 4.01 code contains GREATER-THAN SIGN (>) because that is when you cannot use the processing instruction syntax.

I think full HTML syntax should be supported, 
with comment stripping and trailing comments, that is

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/php" RUNAT=SERVER ><!-- This is a PHP script
//--></SCRIPT >

<script> support is being removed entirely in PHP 7.
