You know, this means that ALL of my hundreds of pages over multiple sites
would break. That's really sad.
I just think it's hard (to remember) when I have code like:
<A HREF="filename.php?var=<? echo $thevar ?>">this link</A>
to put in the 'php' there. It's so much easier just to code with short tags.
(although I have a program that can work in every app that will trap <? and
replace it with <?php everytime I type it. I could utilize that. (I love
Macs... and Spell Catcher.)
