[wp-hackers] XHTML Strict Mode

[Jamie Talbot]

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

My concern about the qoutes or lack of was that as browsers accept them, users
tend to get lazy.  Therefore a parser will have to be able to accept all of
those listed possibilities, plus a couple more.  I think the only thing you can
be certain of is the equals sign and the word before it being an attribute
name.  It will require some smart parsing to handle all the alternatives.  Ah
well, least I've got something to keep me busy!

As for writing the functions in a class;  I wanted to do this, but I got a parse
error on the '&' when trying to use aliases inside it.  For example, it doesn't
like: $a = &$p; inside a class.

In one of the user notes in the PHP Manual it says PHP does clever memory
sharing for variables that are identical.  ie $p = 4; $f = $p; still only
allocates one section of memory until one changes.

I couldn't find mention of it in the manual proper though.  Can anyone confirm
it?  Looking for any way possible to keep the memory requirements low (I know
we're only talking a few bytes here, but still...)

Cheers,

Jamie.
