Hi, I am a newbie at this PHP thing and I have been working from information on the web and from books. I noticed that some start the PHP script with <? and some start with <?php. Actually I have noticed that one of the first PHP script in my book uses both methods interchangeably. Is there a real difference between the two? Or maybe I just haven't noticed something.
