title: How to enable PHP short tags?
body: <p>I have a web application on a Linux server which starts with <code>&lt;?</code></p>
  
  <p>I needed to copy this application to a windows environment and everything is working fine except that an SQL statement is being rendered differently. I don't know if this has to do with the script beginning with <code>&lt;?php</code> instead of <code>&lt;?</code> because I don't know from where to enable the <code>&lt;?</code> from the <code>PHP.ini</code> so I changed it to <code>&lt;?php</code></p>
  
  <p>I know that these 2 statements are supposed to mean the same but I need to test it with <code>&lt;?</code> in order to ensure that the application is exactly the same. This way I can eliminate another possibility.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
