I was reading through the PHP5 readme (which is basically the same as PHP4's), and there's a comment stating that you should always use <?php instead of <? when opening a PHP block. The reason is that the shorthand <? can be disabled; although it isn't by default, you should always develop your code with that in mind.
(of course I have to, now, also :p)
Also <? is ASP but it is acceptable ;)

Can't you even use <% in PHP? I've never tried, but I think I've read that somewhere...

Not to my knowledge. The only tags I know for PHP are;
<?php, <? and <script language="php">
On no i got confused again. <% is asp but can work in php but its not recommended as its not supported by all coding environments. I need to read my book again. I'll be back with info :)

You can if you enable it in php.ini. I don't know why you'd want to, though; it's harder to type <% than <? (in the latter the two keys are right next to each other).
Yeo you can use <% but the ? sign is so much easier ;)
See? I was right, Steve... :D I don't use <% and haven't seen it used, but I just knew I'd read that somewhere...
