I got my answer recently which is this tag that was disabled in earlier versions of php but made available from php 5.4 and above.<br> This code<br> &lt;?php echo $name; ?&gt; <br> is the same thing as this<br> &lt;?= $name ?&gt;<br> This makes the code shorter and more readable. <br> You can make changes to this in your php.ini using<br> ; short_open_tag<br> ; Default Value: On<br> Default value can either be on or off.<br> It is enabled by default on Shared hosting services, so you don't have to worry about compatibility.<br> I hope you find this helpful check back again for my posts</p>
