What is the PHP's short_open_tag

Answer:

PHP's short_open_tag is a way to use PHP in a PHP script without the normal PHP tag, e.g.

Instead of

# <?php echo "hello world"; ?>

You can use a simplified version.

# <? echo "hello world"; ?>

Although it is not recommended, if you want to set it, you can enable it by editing the php.ini

vi /etc/php.ini

Locate and set

short_open_tag = On

Also, remember to restart web server such as Apache if needed.
