Why are short tags (<? ?> and <% %>) such a bad thing?
<% %> are bad because they're not supported on most setups. <? ?> are not good enough because they're not supported on all setups, even though they're supported on most. As to why they're not supported on all - please refer to the huge threads about the subject, that date back to 1997 or 1998 :) Zeev
