Code blocks in WikiFormatting specifying PHP should always syntax-highlight as PHP

[westonruter]

Take for example: ​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31550#comment:description

If you add a triple-brace code block and specify it as being #!php it will not highlight the contents as PHP code unless a <?php appears. I suggest that the formatting logic infer a <?php at the beginning of the code block if none exists, and in this way it will get highlighted as expected.

This is doable in Trac 1.1, currently in development.

php.startinline = true

I tried to backport that, but it got messy really quickly, so we may just need to wait, unless someone wants to take a crack at getting it to work. My take is if you already know to do #!php then you will also know to do <?php, so it's not like removing it will help much more PHP be rendered properly. So I'm going to close this as "maybelater".

I bet @ocean90 could make a PHP toolbar button that spits out {{{\n#!php\n<?php\n\n}}}\n.

In 1994:

Trac: Add a PHP button to the formatting toolbar that spits out {{{#!php\n<?php\n\n}}}\n.

See #941.
