CamelCase Legacy code and using "<?" instead of "<?php"

[eluser]coldfire82[/eluser]
Hi,

What quick solution do we have, if the legacy code is written in camelcase and the codebase is quite large?

The code also uses

Code:

<?

instead of

Code:

<?php

, which is not good. I can change the php.ini but then its php version specific.

Any comments

A lot of finding and replacing Or a manual rewrite.

$config['rewrite_short_tags'] = FALSE;

Set True

On setting the config option: $config['rewrite_short_tags'] = TRUE;

It still doesnt work. It dumps the whole php code on that particular page.

I still have to manually change <? ?> & <?= ?> to <?php ?>

Find & Replace should do the job in about ... 5 seconds?

With some tools like grep and sed, the execution time is about 5sec. Even if you don't know these tools very well, you must need less than 1 hour to write the command line.

Good luck !
