From this page : http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag > This directive also affected the shorthand <?= before PHP 5.4.0, which is identical to <? > echo. Use of this shortcut required short_open_tag to be on. Since PHP 5.4.0, <?= is always > available. This probably means short tags should no longer be discouraged (the first page should be modified) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66097&edit=1
