Phil,
No, that's the point - it DOESN'T WORK!
It may work on your server. But there are thousands of hosts out there
which have short tags disabled - and your code won't run there.
I do look at it from the non-clued customers side of life. He can
migrate my site to another hosting service and it will still run.
And the customer WILL CARE.
You've got to learn how to program for more than just one isolated
environment. The world is not like that.
BTW - I agree with Gary. This is one of the things I look at when
hiring a sub - and if I see it, that person is immediately removed from
any possible consideration.
