But I haven't seen a single server where short tags were disabled.Can '<?=' be used for templates, or is it "a bad thing"?The manual's reasonably explicit on the subject: "Note: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not be supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code, be sure not to use short tags."
