It's inadvisable to use the short form (<?) as it's ambiguous.

When coding webpages you can have both <?xml and <?php . If you are
allowing php short tags, your <?xml tags can be interpreted as php code,
which you definitely don't want.

Also, you'll have to use '<?php echo' instaed of the shorthand '<?=' in
your scripts.
