373764 - Make Remora compatible with PHP5 and short_open_tag=Off

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 394193

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Administration, defect)

Description

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Tracking bug for making Remora work with PHP5.x/6, part of which is removing short_open_tag which will probably be removed from PHP6 (because of XML/XHTML and overall dirtiness of this solution).

So, this is just a Work In Progress.
What the patch does is:

1) Switch all <? to <?php
2) Switch all <?= to <?php echo
3) Clean all major PHP4 obsolate issues
4) Switch from Archive_Zip to standard OO ZIP from PHP5

The file *doesn't* work with PHP4 at this stage. It'll get better with time. If anyone is willing to eye-check the content, I'm happy to get any feedback.

current status is:
53/53 test cases complete: 554 passes, 181 fails and 49 exceptions.

I'm going to focus on clearing out this first

We've been working on PHP5 support and will hopefully be finished soon. Duping this to the more up-to-date bug.
