For the sake of the heck of it, I'm gonna offer up this tiny patch I'm
using in one of my projects. I don't really care if it gets included
in anything or not, just thought it might interest someone.
Effect: Adds a "<?php=" syntax which behaves identically to "<?=", but
works without the use of short_tags.
Caveat: The formation "<?php=" is not valid XML. Specifically, section
2.6 of [1] defines a PITarget as a Name, which in turn is made up of
NameChars (section 2.3), which do not include the "=" character.
Advantage: Saves five characters of typing. "<?php= $myvar ?>" versus
"<?php echo $myvar; ?>".
Just thought I'd throw it out there.
