Possible Duplicate:
Are PHP short tags acceptable to use?

I was looking at some sample code and I noticed that the code used

<?=

instead of

<?php

as opening tags, the closing tags were the same as usual, but I was just wondering if there is any different functionality between the two? The file extension of the sample code is also .phtml instead of .php

    <?= is not the same as <?php

    <?= is the same as <?php echo

    <? is the same as <?php
