You can see the difference in your php-configuration file. Thereīs a
option called "short_open_tag =". If itīs set to On, then you can use
"<? /* code */?>". This is the setting which most webhosters (the oneīs
I know) use. But the DEFAULT setting for this option is "Off". Then your
php code wonīt be executed if you use anything else than "<?php /* code
*/ ?>.

So you should always use the long form to get the code portable.
