Re: Is there a technical reason <?= considered a "short tag"?

"In summary: It's a topic people don't want to talk about. :)" The <?= issue is really quite significant however, it seems quite a common topic of confusion at freenode's ##php. Lots of ZF examples and other mainstream code uses <?= and it seems a very good idea to use it... however it's very difficult to guarantee it will be available to all users (something important in the open source world). It's a growing issue that needs to be addressed. Michael
