These are PHP short tags, which is an option you can set in your php.ini
or via ini_set(). As somebody else noted:
<? : PHP open tag
<?= : shorthand for <?php echo ...
It's recommended to use the long form of '<?php' for opening tags, as
it's more compatible with the XML and XHTML specifications. However,
most examples using Zend_View use <? to keep the syntax succinct; I
personally use short tags in my view scripts, in part to set them apart
from normal PHP scripts.
