Php input value
<p>I am trying to understand this syntax <code>&lt;?=$value;?&gt;</code> in php, <strong>For example:</strong></p>

<pre><code>&lt;input type="text" name="user" value="&lt;?=$_POST["user"];?&gt;" id="user"&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>As i understand it is not some xml syntax becouse the file has to be <strong>.php</strong> file, Also the:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;? ?&gt; // short opening tags in the &lt;?=$_POST["user"];?&gt; syntax
</code></pre>

<p>Is working even if i set <strong>short_open_tag = Off</strong>, If anyone can please help me understand this syntax and how doe's it working with the <strong>short_open_tag = Off</strong>, Thank you all and have a nice day.</p>
