Well he could also change it with a htaccess :P
php_flag short_open_tags on
If it's for many files and he doesn't know perl (I don't either, but I
know that perl can search/replace many files with ease), then he could
override the php.ini settings in .htaccess. That, however, doesn't
solve the root problem: the use of short tags. If he needs the fix for
only one file, then open it in vi (or whatever gui app Macs use :) and
have at it.
