I know that i should use the full open tag in php <?php ?> but i

Ahmed:
In many cases it boils down to an individual preference. I am sure
you will find programmers on both sides and in the middle of this
argument. Some saying they never use it, others saying that they
always use it, and still others saying "It depends" -- meaning they
use it in certain cases.
I believe, just because it can be done doesn't mean that it should be done.
My practice is *never* to use <?=
In fact, my practice is to not only use <?php echo, but to enclose
the echo argument with a (), like:
<?php echo("The answer is $answer");?>
I am sure there will be some that think that my practice is an
overkill, or not "good practice", but it's a good thing that we all
have a choice. Make your choice to best serve how you want your code
to look.
Cheers,
