This is an example I say to you:
<? php echo 'hello'; ?>
<? = 'hello'; ?>
These two things do one thing. But why should not the second code be accepted?
For example, when I say in my product, the client should use php version 7. But codecanyon, regardless of my words, works according to php 5. so product is rejected
PHP also allows for short open tag <? (which is discouraged since it is only available if enabled using the short_open_tag php.ini configuration file directive, or if PHP was configured with the --enable-short-tags option). If it’s not enabled will be shown as code…
About the PHP version at least I try to support lowest possible for my plugin because many of my customers run old servers.
I just gave one example to get the point.
Fair enough.
If you understand the depth of my strategy. You know that I’m right.
I do not say that codecanyon makes a mistake, codecanyon works fine, and adds better to his list to make things better.
I’m sorry, but I don’t.
Envato is what it is because of the standards they are keeping and rising all the time making them the best place to sell and purchase premium level items. Allowing what you are proposing will ruin everything they build so far. This is just my opinion.
