[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: Code Completion: <? rather than <?php

[roy@xxxxxxxx (Roy Ganor)]

Hi,
in the Window -> Preferences -> PHP -> Editor -> Typing page you can set 
to NOT auto-complete the "php ?>".

I guess we should add the ability to configure the addition of the "php" 
as people tend (not recommended) to ignore them in some cases.
