please remove PHP short tags #22

Hello there

PHP short tags (<? or <?=) are not always enabled so this is bad practice to 
use this.

all major frameworks require short tags these days
zend, code ig, etc...
it's the new normal so I downvote this issue, short tags should be used in the 
views for brevity.

I do not agree with you on that Jim. Also can you point to where Zend requires 
it? We are an exclusive ZF shop and do not have short tags enabled on any of 
our production machines. Personally I find it lazy and bad to use.

From the PHP.ini file included as standard:

"This directive determines whether or not PHP will recognize code between <? 
and ?> tags as PHP source which should be processed as such. It's been 
recommended for several years that you not use the short tag "short cut" and 
instead to use the full <?php and ?> tag combination. With the wide spread use 
of XML and use of these tags by other languages, the server can become easily 
confused and end up parsing the wrong code in the wrong context. But because 
this short cut has been a feature for such a long time, it's currently still 
supported for backwards compatibility, but we recommend you don't use them."

And I also have never ever come across a framework that requires short open 
tags; at least not in the last few years, anyway...

Recent PHP allows use of <?=variable?> for <?php echo variable;?> so you can 
still get brevity without allowing short tags.
