This is changed behaviour from 2.5.0 which has broken my application, can someone tell me if this is a bug or by design??

I have the following code in my template:

It's a feature.

unnecessary "?><?php"-sequences are stripped from the compiled template.

This is done before postfilters are applied. See Smarty_Compiler.class.php line 353 (Version 2.6.1 or CVS).

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Was doing this prior to running the postfilters a conscious decision? Would it make a difference if this optimization occurred after the postfilters? (If not, then if it was moved then my problem would go away).

Regards,
Brodie

Thanks for the comments. I actually do already have the delimiters. The problem is that I am trying to output plain text rather than PHP code. The compiled text looks something like:

<?php (PREFIX)CODE(SUFFIX) ?>

This is then supposed to be postprocessed into:

The text that CODE represented

Previously I was searching for and removing the "<?php (PREFIX)" and "(SUFFIX) ?>" strings, but now that there are times when the php source delimiters have already been removed, I find that my search is failing.

I've found a workaround which involves two passes over the text, but if there is no reason not to move the cleanup pass after the postfilters then that would be best for me.

Regards,
Brodie

why do you insist on having your CODE inside php-tags if it isn't php-code?

I'd return something like
"?><?langselect CODE ?><?php" (because the return-value of the compiler-function is in php-context.

and look for
"<?langselect CODE ?>"
in the postfilter afterwards. no need for two passes.

the reason not to move the tag-stripping below the call to the postfilters is simple: in a few weeks somebody comes with the need to return his postfilter's results absolutely AS IS and requests to do the tag-stripping before the postfilters.
