And take special care reading the last note:
"Note: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or
libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP servers
which are not under your control, because short tags may not be supported
on the target server. For portable, redistributable code, be sure not to
use short tags."
