Hi Jochem,

heh :) I have to admit I was thinking the same thing. I use short-tags
and always enable them, I specifically like the <?=$blah alias.

I cannot see any more security risks from allowing <? as from allowing
<?php. If you're letting direct PHP code injection into your scripts,
then you've got bigger things to worry about than if the hacker will
use a short-tag or not!

Cheers,

Rich
