First off, 'echo', not 'print' -- echo is the preferred function when
sending output in PHP; print is an alias to it.
Second, we use short tags when showing view scripts, as the notation is
more suited for intermingling with HTML; we also typically show the
alternate forms of logic operators:
<? foreach ($foo as $bar): ?>
...
<? endforeach ?>
These conventions in our *view scripts* lead to greater readability and
management of your display logic.
Note, however, tha, we restrict this usage in our examples to *view
scripts only*, as we have in our coding standards a requirement for
using full <?php opening tags for class files.
I plan on adding a stream wrapper to Zend_View to allow using short tags
even if short_tags is disabled in your php.ini so that the examples we
have will work regardless of your settings.
