PHP Code:

<?

 <?PHP

Yes. Depends on your preference of usage. Industry standards though prefer the latter ones.

They are the same. If you were programming a script for someone, or a script for widespread use, use the

PHP Code:

<?php
?>

tags...they are as said earlier industry standard, and <? ?> will not work on some servers for an odd reason that is unknown to me, p told me, but i forgot

Probably because short_open_tags wasn't set to 1 in the php.ini. If configured to do so, you can even use the asp tags <% %>
