> Actually, being able to quickly swap from PHP to HTML (especially using short-tags <? ... ?> ) can be useful. One way to create, imho, legible code is to do all the processing first, and then write out the bulk of the HTML, inserting <?=$variable;?> as needed. Like any language feature, this can be abused.
Yes, this is called a template engine. Every other web language has one, and it's by no means PHP specific. Even statically-typed languages like Java and Go have template engines (Go even has two in the standard library, although the older one will be deleted before Go1 is released).
On the other hand, making the whole language a template engine is just wrong IMO.

Yes, that was the intention.
> If you wanted to complain, you'd have to complain that "0.0" is considered true; "0.0" is considered equal to 0.0, and that 0.0 is considered false. Sadly there is no perfect way to write automatic-casting rules.
Wow. PHP is even worse than I remember.
