| Oct 31, 2014 at 8:04 | comment | added | PurkkaKoodari | @Petah So? This is not code golf. We are not supposed to make it as short or as easy to continue as possible. | |
| Oct 31, 2014 at 2:28 | comment | added | Petah | You don't need the closing ?> | |
| Oct 29, 2014 at 6:02 | comment | added | PurkkaKoodari | Well, I didn't want to go that way. I could've called it Text if I just put the contents there, so I added the extra PHP syntax. | |
| Oct 29, 2014 at 4:30 | comment | added | hijarian | I have realized that you'll need to remove quotation marks (which makes it Levenstein distance 2) to be fully compliant. | |
| Oct 29, 2014 at 4:30 | comment | added | hijarian | @Dennis If you write a script helloworld.php, and put the 12 symbols Hello World! in there and then you run this script with php helloworld.php, you'll get Hello World! printed to stdout as PHP treat everything outside of <?php ?> processing instruction as raw text to output. | |
| Oct 28, 2014 at 21:02 | comment | added | Dennis | @hijarian: That's only true for the PHP shell, which makes it invalid for this challenge. | |
| Oct 28, 2014 at 11:55 | comment | added | hijarian | Please note that the string "Hello World!" verbatim, which is obviously distance 0 from answer 2, is a valid PHP program outputting the required string, and explicit print statement is unnecessary. | |
