The short tag '<?' or the long tag '<?php' ?

(1/2) > >>

NathanKP:
Is it better to use the short PHP tag "<?" or the long PHP tag "<?php"?  I've seen both used quite extensively, but I noticed that web hosts have to enable the short tag in php.ini.  Is the short tag usually supported by web hosts, or should I use the long tag to be on the safe side?

I would definitely recommend using <?php. I've never had problems with it, but I will tell you I have had problems using the <? tag before.

NathanKP:
Okay, thanks!
