Submitted: 2012-11-23 05:28 UTC Modified: 2012-11-23 06:13 UTC

Description:
------------
According to the documentation the changeability for short_open_tag is: 
PHP_INI_ALL

The changelog further mentions this:

    PHP_INI_ALL in PHP 4.0.0.
    PHP_INI_PERDIR in PHP < 5.3.0

There's no clear definition what happens when PHP >= 5.3, although according to 
this post it's definitely not PHP_INI_ALL:

Log: Update the short_open_tag documentation to reflect reality.

This crept in when 5.3 briefly had short_open_tag as PHP_INI_ALL, but when the
change was reverted, the documentation wasn't. Checking GitHub confirms that
it's been PHP_INI_SYSTEM|PHP_INI_PERDIR since 4.0.1.

Fixes doc bug #63585 (Unclear changeability for short_open_tag setting).

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
