Good suggestion but it doesn't help if it's not his software that he needs to get running ;)
Actually, it does. He can global replace "<?=" with "<?php print" and be done with it. Then he could let the author of this non-portable software know that his 'shortcut' makes using the software difficult. Especially if it's not his own code (ie, code meant to be used by others) it should not depend upon short tags.
