Sage: Unsupported use of @php directive

[collegeman]

Dear amazing people at Roots;

I want to draw your attention to this issue I reported in the Laravel project. It seems using the @php directive in what I've been calling the "single-tag-form" is no longer supported. The reason being that if there are any @endphp closing tags used in the same template, all of the content between the first @php and the last @endphp will be evaluated by the compiler to be of the same directive, resulting in unintended behavior, e.g., the intervening template code being printed to the screen.

Here's an example of the way you're using it:

https://github.com/roots/sage/blob/42db9f9c991202fda1e4939b556b85b979dab6cb/resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php#L2

This way that you're using the @php directive is functional, but only in isolation to the block-form that includes both the @php and @endphp tags.

Also if you're using vscode and the Laravel Blade Snippets extension, emmet won't recognize anything after a @php() directive as "blade". Therefore snippets won't work and syntax highlighting is funny, for example comment syntax will be like
// foo
instead of
{{-- foo --}}

That's why I changed all the @php() directives to @php @endphp tags.
(Just in case anyone stumbles upon this as well and spent as much time as I figuring out why emmet wasn't working in my blade views.)
