Re: [PHP-WIN] What's the difference between <? ?> and <?php ?> ???

There's a setting in php.ini that dictates whether you can use <? ?> or if
you have to use <?php ?>
It's called "short_open_tag" (
http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.cor....short-open-tag )
It's usually a good idea to use <?php ?> to maintain portability. If what
you write gets moved to a system that has short_open_tag turned off (like
your current system it seems) your code won't break.

| thanks for the quick reply. I agree it is good to follow the rules (i mean
standard ;) ), But the thing is if I use some script written by someone
else, i have to rely on his/her choice.
Thanks

No, but it will be hard to fix all the <?php= that you create.
