Hi,

I agree it is more readable, but it also expects to have short_open_tag
set to on (or 1), which isn't always the case.
Many shared server environments this is set to off (0).
Hence, if you want to improve portability of your code, avoid those
short tags.
(Sometimes this can be overcome by using a .htaccess and override, but
that isn't always allowed either. You know: the straight-jacket shared
server.)

Of course, if you own the server and have no plans at all to ever move
your code, you can enjoy the short_open_tag. :-)
For myself, I stopped using it because of the above reasons.

Regards,
Erwin Moller
