Re: bug in code - can't find it!

Is it realy so? I remember someone noting on this list it also work if short tags are off. I have never tested it and I'm not going to restart our server now, but I will try it at home. John W. Holmes wrote:

and you're entitled to it, but it's not better. Shorter isn't always better. Your code will break if enable_short_open_tags is disabled in php.ini or an .htaccess file. Sure, it's on by default, but some people turn it off, especially when dealing with XML a lot.
