[thelist] PHP & accessibility

[Bob Meetin]

Confirm or deny?

A friend who designs accessible websites told me that PHP and other 
scripting languages are a problem with screen readers.  He 'said' that 
rather interpreting and executing the code, that his screen reader will 
interpret the code verbatim, unlike html, meaning that <?php echo "hello 
world"; ?>  would not display hello world as intended. You would see the 
characters, question mark, etc.   Is this so and if so, is there a 
workaround with PHP?
