HI All,
Every server I work on is set to not allow short tags, and I work on about 7 different state, federal, and commercial ones.
Why turn off short tags? Does that make things more secure?

Don't know if it makes it any more or less secure. I turn them off because I don't use them (I also disable quite a few functions that we don't use). Idea being that if it's not needed, don't make it available to be exploited (if an exploit exists now or in the future). -- John C.
