I have a PHP page like this:

<?
... Some PHP code here ...
?>
<html>
    <head>
        <script>
            ... Some JavaScript code here ...
            <?= $someVariable ?>
            ... Some more JavaScript code here ...
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>

The thing is that the code:

<?= $someVariable ?>

Appears unchanged in the resulting HTML: its not executed or rendered. However, the initial PHP section executes normally (I verified this fact by adding “echo” calls in the first PHP block).

    Use full syntax <?php ... ?>

    If you have PHP lower than 5.4 you can enable in php.ini shorttag set “short_open_tag” to “On”

    From PHP 5.4 you can use shortags, regardless of shorttags settings
