Actually, no, the original op was not hired to program this way. In
fact, he is new to PHP, and was wondering why <?=$var;?> doesn't work.
The only one promoting short tags here is Jeremy, and even he didn't say
he was hired to code this way.
It's ok if he does it - he's the only one who will be hurting when he
upgrades and suddenly all of his scripts stop working. But he shouldn't
be promoting bad coding practices on others, especially newbies who
don't know any better.
