Hi arminium,
"<?=" is the shortcut syntax equvilent for "echo". However, it only works with the short open tag "<?"

so just to confirm
<?= is the same as <?php echo or <? echo
but it can not be <?php=
i sort of thought it might of been something like this
Thanks heaps

That's correct - it can't be <?php=
For further info take a look at the PHP manual.

Look up echo in the manual.
