I think short tags make the templates look better, but people could be using parts from the site and find it not working because there host has short_open_tag off. The normal style is longer and makes the templates look a bit ugly, but it will always work if people use it for there own site. It's not that we are making a site for others... I think there are newbies that would use the *.php.net code. I'm +1 for the latter for making code that will work without .htaccess settings or ini_set. Vincent > > S > >
