Problem using <?=

Well i have a problem when using EasyPHP. All was fine when i reinstalled Easyphp to test something. After that i have some php files where there is html code and inside it php commands such as <?=$text ?>. But when i page is displayed dosen;t recongized it and just dispalys it as it is. Can you help me? I have a webhost and there all are fine.

well using <?php echo "hello world"; ?> seems to work. But why <?= dosen't work?

ok i found the solution. i chanced the configuration file short_open_tag = Off to On

It's not the solution because <? is very old and depreciated... it's better to use full tag <?php

You better use <?php ?> tags.
