for long chunks of code

Code: Select all

<?php //something ?>
to echo the variable:

Code: Select all

<form action="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];?>">
........
</form>

For compatability with hosts where short tags are disabled, it's best not to use them.

you should always use <?php

because XML markup tags start with <?

so how does a interpreter know the difference between

<?

and

<?

they can't obviously so good habit is <?php
