Hi,
I'm now doing web programming using PHP. I need to use <?php instead of <?
for PHP scripts.
How do I configure PHP so that it can recognize <? as well??
Thanks in advance

But be aware, there are some issues you should be aware of when using
it.

Review the following section in *php.ini* file.
[SNIP]
; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are
recognized.
; 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.
short_open_tag = On
[/SNIP]
You can enable or disable *short_open_tag * (<?) by writing On or Off
respectively in your php.ini file.

If you're using XML, it's a pain in the ass because PHP will think that your
XML is PHP. Seriously, leave short tags off, it's bad style.

That is the standard argument (and the only one) I always hear against
short tags, and the argument I hear against using them in a script is
that it doesn't run with short tags off otherwise.
However, since short_open_tags = on is the default setting, turning them
off is (should be) a concious effort, so noone does it without a reason.
All hosting companies I know leave the default setting, so I see
nothing wrong with using the short tags. (For one thing "<?=" looks so
much neater in a template than "<?php echo".)
If someone absolutely has to have the tags off, they can use a per-dir
setting or use one simple sed command to change a whole application to
long tags, so I don't see why I should burden myself (and the template
designers) with long tags just because the style police says so.

Just because poor style works doesn't mean you should use it. I can forgoe
all array subscripting in C and just use arrayName + whatever*sizeof (int)
instead of arrayName[whatever] - does that mean I should? <?php will work on
all platforms. <? will not. Thus, if you care about compatibility, it's a no
brainer.
Both <?php and <? are poor style. We should all use <script
language="php"> </script> instead.

Hmm... actually, that's not a bad suggestion.

I've never had any complaints yet (except from the style police).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
