What does <?= mean?

[lawrence k]

I'm looking at the template examples on this page:

http://qcodo.com/

I see stuff like

<?= $_REQUEST["home"]; ?>

I've never seen the "<?=" before. It causes the value of the tag to be
echoed to the screen?

It's short had for the echo verb.

Hi,

<?= only works if short_open_tags is set to true.
In that case it is translated to:
<? echo

i heard that the syntax "<?" is obsolete/depreciated
true/false ?

True, support for it will possibly (for sure??) be dropped in future
releases if I understood well.

So it is better to switch <?php right away.
I did, with some reluctance since I always used the shorthand.
