Plz tell me the difference between <? ?> and <?php ?>

thanks in advance..

<? ?> refers to PHP Short Tag.
<?php ?> refers to PHP Full Tag.

they are just conventions to represent one thing..but yes we should use <?php?> instead of <? ?> because later one is not supported by all versions of mysql.

To answer your questions, the difference is that the short tags can be disabled in php.ini, so you can't rely on them.

You probably mean PHP, but at the moment, it looks like they're gonna keep them.
