In my opinion all examples on Zend should use <?php, succint or not.
The issue is portability if you move a project to a client server that
doesnt or wont support short tags then you need to change your code, may
as well code it properly in the first place.
I truly believe PHP should remove all short cuts, for one it stops
queries like this :)

I am new to Zend Framework, what does the tag("<?=") in index.phtml template
file mean? It seems the tag("<?=") is not a php standard tag. Does anyone
can give more detail explaination if this tag? Thanks

<? foreach ($this->tables as $tableName): ?>
<li>
"/zfgrid/grid/show/table/<?= $tableName ? ">
<?= $tableName ?>
</li>
<? endforeach; ?>
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.
