Hi,

I am trying to describe why php short tags failed to work on a server... here is my simplified explanation:

"it had to do with the server settings... The short_open_tag directive in php.ini was set to 0."

Do you think that is an ok way to describe the problem to a technically literate non php coder?

Additionally, is there a good reference on the net that explains the differences between short open tags and normal open tags?

Main negative things I have read about short open tags:

1. Not as portable.
2. Security risk/less secure.
3. Will conflict with XML tags.
4. Other?

Thanks!
Cheers,
M
