Note Submitter: preda dot vlad at yahoo dot com ---- So here are the valid ways to open PHP tags: <?php ?> // standard tags <? ?> // short tags, need short_open_tag enabled in php.ini <% %> // asp tags, need asp_tags enabled in php.ini <script language="php"> </script> // case insensitive PSR-1 coding standards suggest to only use <?php ?> or <?= ?> (echo short tags) - and no other variations, and PSR-2 suggests to not close the tags in PHP only files.
