You better don't, and you should fix your libraries instead. But if you
absolutely need to use it, set short_open_tag to 1 in php.ini. Beware
incompatibilities, in particular with different server configurations and
XML declarations.

Both short tags and the $HTTP_* variables are deprecated since PHP 5; use

<?php echo $_POST['foo']; ?>

instead (and you probably want to escape it with, say, htmlspecialchars(),
too).
