Good suggestion but it doesn't help if it's not his software that he
needs to get running ;)

Actually, it does. He can global replace "<?=" with "<?php print" and
be done with it. Then he could let the author of this non-portable
software know that his 'shortcut' makes using the software difficult.

Especially if it's not his own code (ie, code meant to be used by
others) it should not depend upon short tags.
