Unless php short tags are disabled.
Some good discussion on the topic: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/200640/are-php-short-tags-acceptable-to-use

[richieking]

Hold your breath,

Php tag <?=$foo?> can not be turn off.

this is not asp tag
<% ... %>

Trust me i host up to 468 customers website on my server and i know that any hosting company turning this off will be out of business in 2 minutes.

The php short tags are always available on default. The asp type is optional

u seem 2 be an expert in PHP :O .. plz plz plz be there 4 me always :( .. m a newcomer in php .. and dat 2 in a job :/

[mschroeder]

Short tags can definitely be disabled, however they are enabled by default.

If they are disabled, there are ways to use a stream wrapper to replace <?= to <?php echo on the the fly, but its merely a workaround.

RTM

[richieking]

Yes but they are not and wont be disabled by php.

Lets set the record straight. The short tags are one of php selling point.

And no web hosting services will dare to disable that. The short and long tag of php are php.

The asp style is only to show off. Its not part of php core.
