Generic.PHP.DisallowShortOpenTag.EchoFound
Short PHP open tag found
The plugin contains PHP syntax or file formatting that can cause compatibility problems.
Why It Shows Up
Plugin Check found short tags, alternative PHP tags, byte order marks, mixed line endings, or similar formatting issues.
Why It Matters
Formatting issues can break parsing, cause unexpected output, or behave differently across PHP configurations and hosts.
How to Fix
- Use full `<?php` opening tags.
- Save files as UTF-8 without a byte order mark.
- Normalize line endings and run formatting checks before release.
